Hi Satria, your pictures aren't very good, but it sure looks like 20thC work to me. It sure ain't Pajang. Many keris are newly made from old materials, reforging from old worn out keris. Perhaps this is one of those. This is why the iron alone is not good evidence of the age of a keris. From what i can see i like this one it.
