The blade has an elegant shape and is well carved, it has some Mataram features but I am unable to tell if it is an old piece or not

Well, i'd say it has some age Jean, but i seriously doubt it actually dates back to the Mataram era.
I agree that it seems a well formed blade and for me personally i am less interested in the specific "proper" dhapur name since it is generally only a platform for debate about shifting names of such things.
If this were offered to me for the right price i might well purchase it. someone should to save it from that creeping rust before it is too late.
If it were mine i might swap out that mendak. I could be wrong, but it doesn't look correct for that Surakarta hilt.
