Gentlemen,
THanks for reacting.
For as far as i know the blade is supposed to be a few centuries old. The hilt is old and the gandar is to. The waranka is supposed to be newly cut. This is what is told to me by the previous owner who is a highly regarded collector for almost 50 years. But he couldn't tell me where this keris is made. He suggested somewhere West Java. By the way, I replaced the 'carnaval-mendak' with a bronz cast one.
Jean, It's always difficult to estimate the age of a blade, but I gues that yours isn't hundreds of years. But some age it has. It's not karamadikan (excyse me for my spellling) but little older i guess.
