Sid, not everything is as cut & dried as we might like to believe.
This is a very unusual form of keris, no matter where it comes from.
The gonjo is a replacement.
Keris like this were produced to order for a Balinese dealer 30 & more years ago.
I do not know if this keris was constructed for somebody in a Balinese community or somebody in the collector community
Anything else that we might like to think or say about this keris is guesswork.
