Hello,
Your 17 luk blade looks Balinese and well made, but I cannot comment about its estimated age. The kojongan style sheath is more common in Lombok.
The 2 reference books for dapur of Bali/ Lombok blades are:
. Keris di Lombok by Ir Lalu Djelenga (2000), pages 177-197
. Keris Bali Bersejarah (Neka Art Museum), pages 82-92
I checked in both books and your blade does not match with any standard dapur but these are less strongly established than in Java I think.
Best regards
