Can the style of the sheath or blade of this keris indicate a time that reinforces or invalidates this date of "1821"?

Blade style and dress style definitely pre-date WWII.

Other than that , it becomes guess work.

Ok Thank you.

It's too bad for me that it's not possible to say more. This number will remain a mystery.
