Regarding the scabbard, I once had a Keris from Borneo with s similar one, but that msy have been just a coincidence. It does look like a scabbard a man, who wasn't a Tukang Wrongko just made for a Keris himself, and could come from everywhere in Malay world.

Hi Gustav,

Thanks for the link, very interesting and helpful.
So it a appears to be a Jambi blade.
