Yes, I believe this is correct. And yep, Pandai Saras variant. I have nothing much to add not because this is not a nice keris or anything, but I have very little knowledge about it. The thing about keris (not this one) from the region is that, as far as I'm concerned, there is no real guideline in defining what is this or that.
Yes, some are clear cut keris Pandai Saras or Tok Chu for example but there are other forms that will generate endless arguments if this is keris A or B or AB. Then there is a question doesn't the maker - Tok Chu for instance- make other types of keris. So, the answer will pretty much depends on where somebody goes to school as Alan frequently stressed.
