Yes Detlef, possibly of Javanese manufacture.

In fact a lot of keris that are in Balinese dress, & have been for many years, are Javanese. The finish on this blade is Balinese, the dress is extremely likely to have been made in Bali, the blade might have been in Bali for a long time, or it might have been polished when it was given this new dress.

In the hand it might be possible to be a bit more definite, but from photos we can have a lot of hypotheticals.
