Hi Henri,

welcome to the forum. Your keris is indeed a Bali keris. The hilt of your keris is very nice and of good craftsman skill but my feeling is that it isn't very old.
Like David mentioned already is it difficult to give a 100% sure statement by pictures but from the pictures you posted I have my doubts about the blade. I think that the naga is a later addition to an older blade same as the gonjo. I may be wrong by this but it is very common to see modified keris blades in the last years.

Regards,

Detlef
