Wonderful kris!!!

I have seen it's brother in one of the old Scandinavian collections with a resembling "offset" combo of horse's hoof and jawa demam/garuda hilt.
That one is straight, also has twist core and the more Indonesian resembling Ladrang style scabbard.
Another collector friend has another rare one with a classic jawa demam hilt mounted as a pommel. That one with an unusual scabbard with Dayak aso motifs.
Unfortunately I am not allowed to publish them here but both of them are pictured in Karsten Sejr Jensen's soon to come sequel to his earlier book on Keris/Kris.
I am not sure from where this rare hilt variation originates, maybe from North Borneo like the second Kris I described?
