My answer is as below:
1: Bilah source: Forge in Madura by a reputable smith.
2: Warangka and Hulu source: In Lombok.
3: Painting source: In Java.
4: Pendok source: In Lombok.
The reason for doing so as those best craftsmen are located around Indonesia and therefore it is sent to individuals to make the keris.
**Therefore I am not surprise that some antique keris might be 'made' and or adjust as time goes by in this manner as well.
Even in the past, craftsmen travel around.
