Default Translation please? Minang Keris Lapis

I have a Keris Lapis if I am correct from the Minang Kabau area on Sumatra.

The woodwork is covered with goldpaint and not goldleaf so my guess is that it is not very very old, maybe first half of the 20th century.

The backside of the woodwork seems to have a text carved in.

Is there anyone out there who knows what this means?
It might also shed some light on the age of the keris.

Thanks in advance for any help!
