Hi Flavio,
Your keris is very beautiful. The ricikans still complete although the greneng has worn-down. Also pitties that the wadidhang was perforated
But overall is really nice and shown its age, especially the Ada-Ada and Kembang Kacang.

And I agree with Ganjawulung that your keris is Jawanese blade. The dapur is Parungsari (Luk 13) and estimated made on Mataram Sultan Agung period (about 17th century).
