Please help me identify this Keris.

Thanks for your reply! I have been earnestly reading through the forum here and have picked up a little bit of knowledge. I understand that there's not much concrete information that can be gleaned regarding a Keris from a couple of photo. But as I intend to hold onto this Keris for a long time for sentimental reasons it would be great to find out a couple of things -

Any idea as to antiquity (did it have a life prior to my father buying it)?
Is it of any particular quality (cheap touristy thing or something else)?
What type of person may have previously owned it and what purpose might it have served?

Kindly,
Scott
