Javanese keris for comment

Hello All,

Since we are on the topic of Blarak Nigirid, I have what I think is an old piece. The keris, while it has a Madura hilt, comes in a Malay sarong of good fit. The sarong shows age and good patina. I am not sure if it is a Peninsular/Riau/Bugis or Javanese blade. I took some pictures as best I could and you can see that the Blarak Nigirid pamor does not reach the edge - showing the steel core? or is it just wear? It will be nice to hear your comments on this enigma. I wonder how old it is. Empu Kumis - will be grateful for your comments.
