Keris Betok on Ebay

They haven't.

But if I had an old rusty keris that I wanted to sell, I'd clean it and stain it before I offered it for sale.

Everybody in the whole world who understands the beginning of anything about keris will do the same.

It is the correct thing to do with a keris:- you clean them and stain them.

So maybe the maintenance has been done regularly over a period of years, maybe it has only been done once , just before it was offered for sale, but whenever it has been done, it will result in a keris appearing with no rust on the blade.
