Thank you all for your insightful comments.I think , based upon what I have heard here,is that at one time this was a nice Kris, however through time, misuse, or even it having been acquired by a different ethnicity, it has been heavily altered as evidenced by the missing ganja, the crude handle, etc..There may even have been some blade modification.
Without an illustration of an exact match, I think I would do more harm trying to restore it into something I want it to be as opposed to what it is.
