Please do post some better pictures of the blade. It surely will help.
I think, just like Lew, the blade is an older balinese blade, missing his original gondjo. The gondjo on this keris is a replacement and much recent than the blade.
For the dress I go with Rick. The dress is new. Such a dress is used for tourists. But this dress is carved better than most cheap tourist examples. It is as far I can judge the pictures, properly done.
