Welcome to the forum Pete. I'm pretty much with Detlef here. This hilt form is called janggelan by some and while they are sometimes made of ivory yours does look more like antler.
This keris could well be 19th century or early 20th century. It appears to be fairly standard village work from Madura or East Jawa. These areas are very close and share many commonalities in style.
