Yes, old, but after the common use & understanding of the waved keris as a societal icon, so after the spread into general society of the waved keris, & that means after Islam as societal influence, possibly after Islamic dominance of Javanese society.

Ball park guess, after 1600.

Good point about the luk variety of this particular sajen. I was attempting to answer Omar's question more generally. Which came first, sajen or Sombro. Certainly the very early keris sajen are all lurus keris. That said i would love if you could expand on the concept that a sajen with luk would not have come into general society until Islamic times. Certainly there were keris with luk if the Mojopahit Hindu era.
