It is clear from the surface of this blade that it wasn't kept in a Balinese manner or the blade surface would be much smoother. I am leaning more towards Lombok where not all blades are polished. Of course it is in Javanese dress so perhaps it was in Jawa for a few years an had a bunch of Javanese washings.
David i want to say that IMO can be a little difficult to made a 5 luks keris in a fine well-according manner. Of course this is more valid for 3 luks keris. In fact is almost impossible to see at present days NEW keris with 3 luks ...and is rather difficult to see old blades that gratify my eyes for their harmoniousity when they have 3 luks (of course i'm speaking about only about my personal taste ).
