[A. G. Maisey]

Its certainly not made as souvenir Marius, its probably not all that old, maybe early 20th century, but it is the real deal.

The very much older and enormously more expensive sajens are often able to be dated by the type of hat they are wearing --- after Islamic domination they sometimes wear a fez-like hat, in my personal collection, and pictured on my site, is one with a European hat, and interestingly the entire keris has been made in a reverse orientation. Sajens of this type are seldom seen and when they do become available they bring very big money.

My guess is that what you have shown us is more likely to have been made as purely talismanic keris, rather than as an offering keris.
