 I have found some time to do some research. Found similarity in the book from karsten Jensen (1998) pg 136 And one in keris di Lombok from Djelenga (2000) pg 168 These are carita dapur one’s but have the same candik and ada-ada(rim) This blade has been polished (typical bali) counter is the pamor used for the ganja . On bali, ganja’s are black (or small stripes) Pamor at the base beras wutah and stretched to the tip. Still confused Or is this an recent mixture  |

 Frankly i don't think this is a recent mixture of anything. It looks like a classic Javanese dhapur executed in the usual manner. Of course, if i had it in my hand i might have some different thoughts on it. The pamor is impossible to discern absolutely from this one image. But i don't have Ferry's magic eye. Likewise the thinness or thickness of the blade or the depth of the sogokan is impossible to tell from this evenly lit over top viewpoint. But as a general overview it seems to present itself as a Javanese Pasopati dhapur with Wos Wutah pamor blade to me.
