[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 211714, member: 2844"]Moro keris are always polished, they don't have pamor. The Moro looks exactly as it should. The Indonesian keris hasn't had a steel wool job. The pamor has faded a little and it hasn't been ritually washed for a while. Ritual washing (arsenic, etc) brings out the contrast, but also eats away at the blade, which is why I am an advocate of leaving the blade as it is as long as the pamor isn't too faded.
