I believe the hilt of this keris madura is new style (modern style) . Because most all of maduranese keris has only symbol’s shape of animals.
For example Donoriko hilt, It’s syimbolize of Gajah (Elephant) or Kojuk Renget hilt , The hilt that symbolize of Kutilang Bersiul (Kutilang = Name of bird , Bersiul = whistle )
and many other hilts.

Yes Brekele, mid-late 20th century (as stated) would indeed make this hilt contemporary...
