Default keris origin

Would it be possible to identify the origin of this kris ? It has a rather disproportionate base part and an ULER LULUT pamor which made me suppose a Balinese origin. On the other hand overall size (35 cm or 14 inch) leads me towards Java. Sorry for the bad pic. I am trying to etch the blade.
Thanks in advance for your help

Not Balinese IMO but rather S... The shape with the protruding ganja and 7 or 9 very shallow waves is typical.

It might be the camera angle Jean, but from what I can see I doubt that this keris is classifiable as Segaluh, the blumbangan does not appear to be wide enough, the pesi is insufficiently central. But I would tend to agree with Sunda/West Jawa.

Thank you Alan and I agree with Sunda/ West Java (the land of origin of Segaluh), but do you refer to my blade or the one from Gio?
Regards
