Origin of this keris .

In this case the seller specifically stated that he was given this keris when he was living in Malaysia as part of a datu ceremony.
So based on that I would suggest to keep the keris as it is.

On the other hand, the journey of this keris just continues. be it now in the hands of a collector.
The new owner might want to change the keris with what ever is beforehand or within his budget. Same as previous owners did.

I would probably keep the hilt, as it is a nice hilt and try to add a matching selut/pendokok.

Best regards,
Willem
