So --- point of geographic origin of blade, scabbard, hilt, hilt cup, and also estimate of age for all those things.
Not my field Adam, but there are people here who might care to provide an educated guess.
Just hope they read this thread.
But for now, my uneducated guess:- a keris of the Bugis people, probably 19th century, geographically maybe North Sumatera through to Peninsula.
