New Moro kris

Picked this one up yesterday. At first sight a nice one, but what do i know about these krisses. There are a lot of members with more knowledge than yours truley. I would like to hear your comments.

The hilt has an ivory end butt. The wood has a nice grain. Silver bands. Between these bands woven rattan and above the first band towards the blade a band with woven copper. The hilt is unremoveable attached to the blade. The blade has a very faint drawing on both sides and on the tip a copper dot. The scabbard is completely covered with cloth wich is lacquered. one band on the lower part of the scabbard. The end tip is missing.

Should i clean this one or keep it the way it is? If i should clean it, how? How would the end tip have looked?
