I think we're looking at an East Jawa keris here, possibly Madura, even though it lacks the steeply inclined inwards gandhik.

The point area is typically Madura with the long distance from last luk to point, the greneng with its lack of discipline and no formal rondha is typical of Madura.


The wrongko is Solo style, and it is pretty nice.

I'd be inclined to replace the hilt with a Solo planar one and give it an undamaged mendak.

Overall, not a bad keris.
