I rather think not.

I would be inclined to leave this keris exactly as it is.

Yeah, I know I'm swimming against the tide, but sometimes bling is just simply out of place.

I fully agree with Alan on this uwer issue !

Ps, the blade appears to have most of its Original finish. just preserve it as it is.
