Hi Danny ...
In my opinion, your kris is still original, I also have a collection similar to yours, I think of materials is similar with iron, pamor and from the same era, but have 5 luks with dapur 'Pendowo Cinarito'.
I think the addition of a new 'sogokan' can be seen on the smoothness or fineness surface in blade, the old blades that made the new 'sogokan' will usually looks very smooth and flat so that almost no visible corrosion on the iron, or could be still seen from bad work results, but also the need of accuracy, because sometimes after new added 'ricikan' made, the dagger will be processed by certain liquid for add corrosion.
So in this case we need to see a variety of precision and compare from a lot of keris.
