These 3 keris look old to me, so i agree looking at these foto's they are all real & old keris, and not to be classified as keris Kamardikan ( freedom period of Indonesia after '45 )

About the dresses waranka, ukiran etc
1. seems old and authentic to me
2. waranka seems to be made more recently, from a lighter, and younger timoho, darkened up. looking at the proportions and model. (These changes are not unusual, and does notting off from the keris)
3. original and authentic materials, but mendak is Djogya style in stead of a Solo type.

....3 Nice ones
