Personally, I would not consider for one instant sending this keris to either Jawa or Madura for a wrongko.
Never in a million years.
But I am very risk averse & I have better than 50 years experience with Bali, Jawa, Madura & Indonesia in general, as well as the people who do this work.
It might be viable to seek out somebody who works with keris online --- everybody I know is old school & not at all tuned into modern communication.
You could try ordering a new or used wrongko and fit the blade yourself. I'd order new, the blade fitting is not difficult, but it is painstaking & you do need patience.
