Welcome to the forum Rizramon,
Nechesh and Mans are completely right. Both very new keris. The betok is just a fake for the ignorant tourist. The second one is new and definitely made for the touristmarket. Especially the scabbard has nothing to do with a maduran scabbard. But the udan mas pamor comes out very good.
For a beginning collector certainly not a bad buy (I hope you didn't payed to much). Now you have to find a real, no, let I say an authentic keris. Than you can go expanding your collection and compare offered keris weather they are old and original or not. But the way is long and full with traps.
