The mendak is javanese and mostly found in Solo, but is used in more area's.
For the blade I think it is adequate to the sheath. We cann't see how the blade fits into the wrongko. Hard to judge from a picture but a maduran blade is mostly more sturdy. The javanese blades have more elegance.
Well, my conclusion is, and everybody may shoot on it: Keris Madura, gandar covered with Yogjakarta pendok.

Henk,
thank's again for your help. Yes, the pendok is Yogja style. The problem is that this keris is relative small in size, 45 cm complete and 33 cm the blade without peksi and I don't found a matching pendok from good quality until now. The second problem is that the gandar is also very small. I hope to find one by time. here two pictures how the blade fits inside the sheat. Not perfect but still ok in my opinion.
