I believe testing will reveal that this dress is gilt over silver.

I also agree by this, I have a Bugis keris in similar fashion where the dress is gilt over silver.
Nice alamang! Regards, Detlef |

Then it is probably alloyed with silver, not uncommon as mentioned previously....

As far as i know ,here in lombok and also bali ,the one who alloyed with silver we call it "SILIASIH " or there is another kind of combination gold & silver we call PIJAHAN / GANDONGAN.
and this one is not one of that kind ,cause its a solid gold in low quality Thanks |
