I'haven't Your knowlege about keris, and I didn't read most of the books You mentioned, but on page 16 of the Van Zonneveld book (traditional weapons of the Indonesian archipelago) there's a pic of a Kalimantan keris, acquired in 1893, that looks very interesting to me.

Yes, it looks interesting.
AFAIK the swords in the van Z book is attributed according to collection area, not where they were made.
