It feels like a practical piece to me

From this pictures the hilt could be older.It's difficul to understand the age from a photo.There is no FEELING!
Is the surface smooth or not ? How is the colour/aspect of the hole on the bottom ?

I think this keris is from Bali or Lombok.
The blade was rather neglected, but in my opinion it was a polished blade.
An attractive ukiran. Hard to tell if it is an old one from the picture. Wrangka seems to have some age. The gandar is a more recent replacement.

You better etch the blade with warangan to get the pamor out again.
