Gustav, I do not know a Javanese wrongko form that has the same or similar form to a Balinese kekandikan.
This is not to say that such a Javanese wrongko form has never existed, it is to say that I do not know of it, & have never seen any Javanese wrongko that is able to be classified as "kekandikan" using Balinese standards.
The kekandikan in post #6 would be classified as kekandikan in Bali, & I cannot see anything in the complete keris dress to indicate a Javanese origin.
The complete keris that you have shown in post #11 looks to be a mixture of component parts, I cannot relate it to any other keris I remember having seen.
Is it possible to detect a location of origin for the blade of the post #11 keris?
