An antique sunggingan wrongko to fit your blade is totally out of the question.

A new sunggingan wrongko of very high quality will be difficult to find, and what you would need to do is to get the existing wrongko --- assuming it was made for the keris --- decorated.If the wrongko is not original to the blade you get a tukang wrongko to make a new wrongko , then get the decoration done.

It is not especially difficult to get sunggingan work of FAQ done, but I have not seen truly superb new work in 30 years.

Yes, I do have a small collection of vintage sunggingan wrongkos, I have one or two antique ones, and another small collection of very good quality new ones, that were done in the 1980's.
