This question gets back to something we were discussing in another thread about dhapur, and how strictly we wish to apply pakem.
According to the Surakarta pakem, Nagasasra is a 13 luk keris.Not 11 luk, not 9 luk----etc, etc.
However, in recent years a lot of people have taken to calling keris that display most of the ricikan of a true nagasasra, but with less than 13 luk, a "nagasasra luk 11", or "nagasasra luk 9", and so on.
If we are prepared to be a bit relaxed, we could call this keris a Nagasasra luk 11.
From the photo it looks like a current era keris, but it really should be handled before giving any definite decision on age.
