I can understand quite well a blade in Ngentho-Entho style is esthetically very far away from Surakarta canon, and this blade is a textbook Ngentho-Entho, a very good one at that.

Looks like a Keris from Jitar.

A good blade, Gavin!

My immediate thoughts on it are -

Dear All,

The proportions of sheath and blade allow to classify it as a variety of so called "Chieftains Keris", if we accept blades with Rotan...

I agree, Sampir could have had agressive sanding. I cannot recognise it as antique by details of carving (and/or patina).

Alan, I know you don't have any interest in Keris from that region, so your interest in this particular case is likely having another reason, different from the gathering of information. Well, fair...

Sheath and hilt cup are recent work, hilt could be antique.

For Cengkrong and Cundrik the normal position in the sheath is reversed, because reversed is the Gonjo, not the hilt.

The general problem is, as I understand it, that Marco's Keris isn't Cundrik...

A beautiful, well made blade. As Amuk pointed out, it follows an archaic form.
You had luck noticing (or being noticed about it) early, that was a good catch.

Blumbangan here more likely is Mboto Rubuh.
