Hello Henri,
IMHO this is a non-traditional keris blade made on the Malay peninsula; craftmanship and surface treatment support a recent origin (within the last decades).
I don't think this blade style can be included under the pandai seras label; the pendokok isn't suitable for a tajong (nor coteng) hilt - can you post some pics of the hilt, please? No scabbard?
Regards,
Kai
