Do you mean this keris. It is the one they show beginning at 9:30.
I don't see that much that is similar really. Completely different gandik (this one is nogo), different style greneng, a gonjo wulit, different style of kinatah application. This does have kinatah on the sides of the gonjo in a sheath that might well abade it when placing the blade in and out of the sheath. I do suspect, however that this dress in relatively recent, while the dress in the Czerny keris is claimed to be original. Also, though relatively plain in design i am not sure we can call this a form of "tunggak semi" hilt as the Czerny keris is stated to be. I believe i see more differences than likes between these two keris.
