Balebang keris ?

The blade has an elegant shape and is well carved, it has some Mataram features but I am unable to tell if it is an old piece or not

Yes, look also my eyes like a Panimbal blade, about average. "New Mataram"? This blade need care but is in very good condition. Would change maybe not only the mendak but maybe also the hilt. Would like to see better pictures.

Very nicely rusted, a good job.

Some elements of this blade display very competent craftsmanship, some do not.

The full-length, very distinct odo2 is something I do not expect to see in a Mataram style of blade.

The jejeran is a Central Jawa style, but I doubt that it was carved in Central Jawa --- doubt only, I'd need to see the cecekan more clearly to be more certain of what I'm looking at.

Mendak East Jawa.

thank you for the inputs

I will take this into consideration about this keris
and I do agree this was supposed to be panimbal rather than balebang

and I will try to ask pictures of sirah cecek ...
