I also had this, as well as the "arty" panabas, on my watch list - frustrating
It's a Peninsular Malay Keris Sundang and I also suspected that it had twist core.
The horn scabbard mouth is original but the top of the wood below is broken which is the reason why it looks like a strange fit.
I don't get it why somebody cancels an auction on something he obviously doesn't know what it is or what value it has when he gets that much attention on it???

Hullo everybody!

As a small Christmas present....

The lady owner said that the item had a ... twisted center blade....., which to me, means twist-core.

Merry Christmas to all and a Happy New Year!

Best,
