Hello Michael,
this Naga keris is interesting of course, yet there are some shortcomings. Some of the rust pittings are deep; I don't know, if the possibility of blade reworking can be fully excluded - I think about the file marks on base and the joint line between blade and Gonjo going through a bad place in Greneng. Your Keris is actually the first one with slightly similar size of Greneng I have seen.
After all, mine seems to be a Peninsular blade, yet comes in Sulawesi dress.
Regards,
Gustav
