While i appreciate good sunggingan dress i would like to suggest that you take a second look at the wrongko you currently have for this keris. Personally i find this wide diagonal kendit on this wrongko quite attractive. If it were mine i believe i would restore the mendak and leave the rest along.
Since you seem more interested in antique sunggingan why not seek out a keris already wearing such dress? I think you might be more likely to find antique sunggingan dress that is still with its keris than a good quality wrongko without a blade that you can refit well to your present keris blade.
