Possibly of fairly recent manufacture since original ones are rare (crude craftsmanship; the rough undulated edges certainly look weird). Alan will be better qualified to comment - some more pics might help though.

There are many replicas keris around or should I said modified keris that is passed off as antique. Even HK antique shops that sell China factories made replica Chinese antiques which is pass off as real antique to buyers. Their craftsmanship is so good that it even fools experts from reputable auction house.

So Beware!
