This is a real nice one, Tim. Dhapur is probably Djalak Ngore. All the other things are already said. A very honest Jogyakarta keris.
I wouldn't change the pendok. Restoring the mendak? If it really disturbs you... if you decide to do so, I would like to see the result in pics before and after. But the mendak seems to be in a very good shape as well.
Don't forget to oil the blade from time to time to keep it in this condition.
