Keris Luk Identification / Comments

Thanks for the feedback A.G. I'm new to this and the terminology... Some research I'm trying to sort out:

The Wilah seems to be very old. 13 Luk? Great details and smells like sandalwood. Do you think this is a reproduction? Age relative to the Pendok? Quality of the Naga at the base?

The Warangka Pendok has what looks like a royal crest and is inscribed "2602" which I think refers to 1942, the Japanese Imperial Year. Do you think this was a royal commission? There is a date inscribed on the Sampir "1807". So I'm confused about the age.

The Hulu I think may be Buta Bajang / Crouching Guardian. What do you think?

Finally, does the Wilah match the age of the "clothing"?

Thanks for your consideration.
