Detlef,

In my opinion the ukiran is matching very nice with the wrongko. I go for Madura or east Java. That is where your ukiran is from. The pendok is a Yogjakarta pendok. A Maduran pendok would be better to complete the piece.
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.
