Agree with David, the blade seems to my eyes antique. And I don't think it's Tilam Upih but I am unsure, I would need to see other pictures.
The sarung seems to be without patina, could be refurbished or recent and is a somewhat special Jogya gayaman form. And yes, please rotate the hilt by 180 degrees.

Regards,
Detlef

Based upon what I believe I can see in the photos:-

the keris is certainly an older blade, probably 19th century, dhapur brojol, pamor wos wutah, very likely classifiable as Tuban, but I would need to see the sirah cecak to be sure.

the dress is rather poor quality pasar level, 1970's, maybe 1960's, Jogja style.

Overall,an absolutely typical Jogja keris.

Just to clarify, I didn't intend to say the blade was 40 years old but that it was from the '40, could be 80 years could be 100 If you have reasons to think it is older that may be
