This is a very nice straight bladed keris. Very nice dapur and a good pamor. Dapur looks to me the brodjol form with sogokan. I think the age of the blade is arround 1900, maybe a bit earlier. Always hard to tell how old a keris blade is.
The dress is very new, wich is not uncommon. Because of the climate the wooden parts of a keris where frequently replaced. The style of the sheath is walikat sandang. Mendak is a new one too. Mostly you see this mendaks in red or blue, but i suppose more collors are available.
