Hello Ruud,
Don't toss out the scabbard - it's a nice one, too.
The keris needs another scabbard though. As already pointed out by Ron, the (silver?) pendokok is nice and typical Minang Kabau style as is the (wooden?) Jawa deman hilt. Blade is not typical Minang but these sepokal blades are quite commonly found there, too.
Once you have removed the hilt from the blade, the latter could certainly use a gentle cleaning to remove the active rust - if you start out with pineapple juice, there's probably enough warangan left among the rust for reasonably staining the pamor once the blade is clean (search the forum for pointers).
Regards,
Kai
