The blade has pamor, thats for sure. Tammens wrote in his books about different colors of pamor depending on the kind of metalls that were used. Tammens wrote also about research on the metal of keris and that older keris show after analysis that during the forging-proces meteorite pamor was used. Meteorite metal contains nickle in different degrees.

In my opinion it is an very old blade but I don't have the courage to date it.
