I agree with your opinion about this blade - seems like it fits well with examples discussed recently in this thread.
Is your keris also gilt brass?

there's why I took this one, because the kinatah is gold, and not gilded brass ... I tested with gold test kit and turned to be gold ... try to scratch a part and still cannot find brass beneath the gold
checked all the rust and still cannot find traces of green patina - that's why I bought it at the first place
sadly in several areas the gold is peeling away such as in the naga's body
next time I will bring more discussion about keris in this forum
