Hello David,
Also when you, like I know, are afraid to work on blades I would try a mild etch. The blade looks clean enough that the chance is high that it would show a pattern after it.

Yes, clearly a keris Sombro.
The handle looks in your new pictures much better. The mendak (the ring) is a little bit damaged but I would still use it until you find a better one.

Welcome to the forum Omar,
Looks like a keris picit or pejetan to my eyes. Scabbard is a recent replacement like the handle also. Blade seems to be old but pictures can deceive.
