Yes, the blade could be North-East Javanese. The overall shape doesn't seem Balinese to me. Compliments for the etching: it's you who did it ?
Best regards

Hello Gio,
The etching was done by Master Herman from Solo, the pamor contrast is excellent and the bade still very smooth.
Best regards

Hello friends,
I also commissioned a new scabbard iras made from cendana (non-aromatic sandalwood), the shape and sunggingan are not perfect but the best I could get.
Regards

Well done Jean! I really don't see any reason why the blade shouldn't get etched, maybe a somewhat milder etch would let look the blade old like it is.
And better this scabbard as no scabbard! I am green with envy, this keris is also with it's small faults a real beauty!

Regards,
Detlef
