Well, if a keris is well cared for i would say that there should never be any rust on the pesi at all, so i don't think that we can judge the age of a keris based on whether or nor there is deep set rust on the pesi or any part of the blade. That this rust is surface rust is a good thing and i would suggest once again that you clean it before it becomes a problem.
