How old is this blade?

Its old Lew,but I cannot say how old.

In the hand, and in stain , it would be pretty easy to give it a classification (tangguh), but from a pic, and out of stain its just too hard, even so, it looks as if it might be Tuban, or Tuban-Pajajaran, and although this doesn't help a whole lot with accurate dating in the terms that you and I understand, it does mean that it is no youngster.It has been tidied up a little bit.
