A Sumatra Keris with twisted core blade und Gonjo

Thank you all for your help!
The scabbard is original to the blade.
I have an old Madura hilt which I can use for the Keris. Would it be OK? Alas, I do not have any East Java planar hilts available...

Provided the size is in proportion it would certainly be much better than what is on it, but I would advise that you put a distinctly East Javanese hilt on your wants list.
