Another similar example
This is another kris from Oriental-Arms old site. The descripti0n provided is as follows:

A classical Moro Kris sword, with an old, probably 18 C. blade. 20 ˝ inches long, straight, with two central fullers and forged from pattern welded steel. Later, probably late 19 C. wood handle bound with fibers and three white metal bands, and set with two light horn panels on the cockatoo shaped pommel. Two copper clamps (Baca-Baca). Later wood scabbard with painted black tip. Total length (in scabbard) 26 inches. Very good condition. Blade with few forging flaws and edge nicks.

There are some style differences from the original post above, but a lot of strong similarities too.
