Hi Rick, welcome to the forums. As noted at the bottom of your post this has been moved to the Ethnographic forum.
This Kris is from the Philippines, not Indonesia and is from one of the Muslim Moro tribes.
An Ethnographic forum search using KRIS will provide lots of examples and information on of this type of sword.

The Keris Warung forum is for discussions of the Keris of Indonesia.

It's a handsome blade, someone here may be able to restore the inlays for you.
