Looks like a good old blade to me, although i am not a big fan of the dress;
Although very nice made and carved, which i be never able to make myself.
I would prefer to see a more simple dress ( as far as we can speak from simple)

Speaking about newly made kerises, in my opinion its not the pamor but the mainly the dapur / greneng which can tell tell the difference.
some better photo's more from the salesman closely would be nice.

I include some pictures of a recently made blade, to show you what i mean.
