Age and origin of this kris!

Hi all,

I got this old kris since yesterday and I would like to know more about it.
The scabbard is old, but I guess later and not that exciting.

The length of the kris (out of the scabbard) is 66 cm (26 inches).
The cacatua pommel is made of horn, very dark from old patina.
The handle is surrounded with smooth silver panels.
The shallow waved blade shows also great patina and has a kind of a waved fuller in the middle on both sides, from the arrow shaped pannel at the base to the tip, that is waving the same way as the many shallow waves of the blade.
The gangya is seperate and there are three holes filled with bras dots.
Baca-baca's are also silver.

Any comments on this kris are welcome!
