Keris in need of TLC
This is a recent acquisition. Keris are not my area of collecting, though I have the inevitable handful of items included as secondary pieces in auction lots, but this one caught my eye.
I'm afraid I only have the poor quality auction photos to share at the moment.
I would of course be interested in any information the knowledgeable might be able to share, but my primary request is for thoughts on how I might sympathetically restore the blade. Normally I would approach it carefully with a little oil and either 0000 steel wool or 800/1000 grit paper, but I suspect that is not the best approach with a pamor blade. Being UK based any products suggested would need to be UK available.
I would be grateful for any knowledge and suggestions shared.
