about the blade it self, I really curious about the layers on the iron.
any body can tell me , if there's some thing suspicious about the iron work that indicate this is a new made keris?

It isn't just because the wood appear bright in color, then it is new. The warangka probably has some ages. Have you checked the wood inside the warangka ? Is it look new, white and 'wet' or already 'dry' and dirty ? The pendhok also has some ages. It is a particular kind of pendhok that is rarely produced now. You have to specially order it if you want a new ones today.
The blade is very unlikely to be a new ones. The sor-soran shows (old) Madura's tangguh influences, but the application of pamor is not.
If I were you, I would leave the blade-wrangka ensemble intact, as it has already depicted what it should : an old Madura's keris.
