Default Banten? Keris

As asked by several of here you here is a subject specially for this keris.
The blade fits well in the sheath even if the ganja exceeds slightly.

Yes, beautiful, but the blade is not classifiable as Banten.

In my previous post to the other thread that showed this keris, I was leaning towards Pajajaran, but still very uncertain, because the blumbangan looked a tiny bit too square. In these new photos I believe that the blumbangan tends towards boto rubuh, and if this is so, I am much more confident of a Pajajaran classification, and absolutely positive that it cannot be classified as Banten.

Ok Alan, I just repeated what was said in the other topic because I did not know what to write as a title.
I realize that I had forgotten to put the photo of the back of the handle.

No problem Athanese, I'm only talking about the keris itself, that is, the wilah, or blade. I have only passing interest in the dress, that could come from anywhere, and should not influence classification of the blade.

I understand "Banten" as title for the thread, that seems to be what was agreed previously, but I use different parameters to most people and I do have the advantage of having handled these Dresden keris and photographed them, which means I have notes and perhaps a dozen or more photos of each keris.

Hello Athanase,
Do you know the history or provenance of the kris and what is the blade length excluding the pesi?
Regards
