This type of Madurese fittings often comes with subpar blades. This blade is quite decent though! It certainly has some genuine age - IMHO 19th century or older (not of higher quality nor in good shape of preservation which makes reading this blade pretty tough).
Anyway, a really decent first keris!

Thank you, Kai. I don't even know what you mean by reading the blade. I'm assuming small details that can give you origin, age and maybe material. I have gained access to a few books. I will study them a bit so I can have a decent conversation about what seems to be a rabbit hole.
