Hi Jaga,
It is rather difficult to say on quality as we need to match the quality level to the respective age and origin or tangguh of a keris.

Hi Green,
I think what you meant by "not form the Malay world" is not from Peninsular Malay world? Because this type of blade is quite popular in Sumatera. Attached below is a gift from the...

Here's my take. The tunggakan can be found on Palembang keris too. The twisted gonjo can be from anywhere. East coast Malaysia Bugis keris also tend to have a twisted bar gonjo even if the blade is...
