large 5 luk blade

I bought this large 5 luk blade.

For some reason I am often charmed by the shape of 5 luk / pendawa lima blades. It was definately not the dress of this keris.

Someone dressed this keris with java ukiran, mendak and pendok.
It has a odd shaped wrangka which seems very recent, but to me appears to be made with a precission I would only expect in Indonesia.

So my questions : is this blade from Java ? where would you place the wrangka ?

Best regards,
Willem
