Blade:- current era, made in Sumenep Madura, high probability that it was sold out of a particular market in Surabaya, needs maintenance, rather average quality.
Hilt:- remarkably poor quality, current era.
Pendongkok:- made in Madura, brass, probably low quality silver plate but could be nickel plate or chrome plate, current era, exceptionally poor quality. This fitting should not be on this type of keris, as Jean has said, it belongs with a Bugis-type keris.
