This is a genuine, authentic mid-quality 1970's Touristico Keris.
In the '70's they still used genuine old blades, as this one is, but its Javanese, and the quality of carving is not bad, but they used probably sono wood instead of kayu areng for the dress.
In fact, a piece like this is worth getting hold of as an example, and at the price its really a give-away.
