Hello Danny,

first of all: very nice keris sarung. I am not very sure but I think that this sheath is very very similar. So have a look to this thread: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?t=11592

Sumbawa comes to mind. The long batang that does not taper towards the end; the overall aesthetics of it reminds me of sheaths I've seen from Sumbawa, or reputedly from Sumbawa.
