Just off the top of my head i would say that you have a nice keris there.

That is exactly what it is. Unfortunately these medallions looked very much the same from the late 19th century up through WWII so it is a bit difficult to date.

OK. Don't believe that keris is Bugis though. ;)
Also, as Kai pointed out, 17th century (which is how that keris is described in the linked post) is far beyond the even the late Mojopahit period.

There is no doubt that mono steel blades have been made for some time and i am sure there are quite a few examples of late 19th and early 20th century Moro blades out there. However, my understanding...
