I wouldn't take it personally. I'm not sure what could be said in reply. The keris in question is clearly not from Madura. I am not sure what crest your carving represents. It is not a very good carving by Madurese standards so i doubt it was used in any official capacity. There are certainly clear similarities between it and the crest on the pendok. It might be possible that if this crest has some significance in Madura this keris might have been owned by someone living in Jawa of Madurese heritage, but i'm only speculating these.
Welcome to the forums btw. Are keris your area of interest?
