			There are a couple of problems with this keris, firstly we cannot see if it had greneng or not.
 If it had greneng it is either Carita Prasaja, or Carita Keprabon ( Pakem Surakarta)
 
 If it did not have greneng it is diluar pakem according to the Surakarta Pakem --- but it could well have an assigned dhapur according to a different pakem.
 
 The other problem is the blumbangan:- this is boto adeg
 
 A Mataram keris has a square blumbangan, not one like a brick standing on end.
 
 Majapahit has boto adeg, so does Surakarta, and Banten may or may not have boto adeg.
 
 This is definitely not a Madura keris --- but it does have a nice Madura hilt.
 
 Frankly, I'm not prepared to give an opinion on what classification this keris might be, but based upon what I can see I am quite prepared to say what it cannot be, and it cannot be Madura.
