need help

Folks,
I was reorganizing my long-forgotten storage space and found this kris.
He must have come to me many years ago and was just hiding.
I am still terminally uneducated kris-wise, and the only thing I can guess that the sheath is Jawanese, Gayaman style. Am I off by 180 degrees?

Can you tell me what did I buy many years ago, and whether it has any interest, age and value ( I am not asking about the monetary one, purely historical/artistic)

Will be glad to pay back with insights into Islamic/Caucasian stuff.
Thanks a lot.
