I agree with Battara definately a mid to late 1940s kris. Below was a small kris that was in my collection some years ago which was brought back at the end of WW2. It exhibits the same style and workmanship as the big one you have.

Swish of the Kris used to be available to read online; I see that it has now been reprinted .
Anyway, lots of good stuff in the archives here .
