This right harmony I can see in your kris, Gavin
About the pendok, at first glance it seems to me a motif used in Yogya...but maybe I'm wrong, because the upper end of the pendok fits perfectly to the gayaman
Thank you Marcokeris. This is interesting about the 3 luk.

David, I do not know, that is why I am here, you have much more experience where this type is concerned.
