The sajen is recent, but more likely to be Javanese than Sumenep.
The Jogja keris blade is recent, but it appears to be a pretty decent keris, definitely Sumenep, Madura. The dress is older. This combination of older dress with young blade is just as common as older blade with younger dress.
I have a feeling that at least the Jogja keris might have come from me.
The pelet markings of Timoho do not always penetrate the wood, in fact when a Timoho atasan is re-finished the m'ranggi needs to be careful not to polish out the dark patches. But with a kendit it is often the case that the dark belt will penetrate.
