Strange keris

Just wondering. Is it usual for keris from the Pattani area to have no pamor ?

The blade seems to be well constructed, but is - in my opinion - made of plain iron.

Actually Freddy, it would be more unusual for a blade from Pattani to have pamor.
Have you tried cleaning this blade up yet? Can you do some better, more detailed photos? Can you shoot directly overhead instead of at an angle that distorts the true proportions of the keris?

I hope these pictures are better. I put the keris under my scan.
