Newly aquired keris

We don't see the pamor of this keris. So it is impossible to tell what type of pamor this keris has. The pamor becomes visible when the blade is etched with warangan. The arsenic lemon solution will etch the iron into black and the nickel metall wil stay untouched. That treatment will bring out the pamor. What we see here is the forging of the metals used for the blade, the lamination. The pamor could be a complete surprise.
