I have seen this model twice in a in a Dutch auction, described period of the seller: MATARAM, CA 1550 1600 same period of time was described for the big keris second photo

but if this is true, I would not know.

( I only know that the seller has had enough knowledge to know what he says

)

As we all know, it is very difficult, almost impossible, to appraise a keris from a photo, however, on this occasion I am brave --- or stupid --- enough to make a couple of limited comments.

The primary keris in post #5, that is to say, the blade, is most probably East Jawa/Madura. It may be 16th century, but it does not display any of the characteristics that we normally associate with a keris that is classifiable as "Mataram".
