Kai, Alam Shah is right. The blade is a javanese one. Javanese blades were highly apreciated so it is no surprise that you see javanese blades mounted as a buginese keris.

But i don't think yours is a bugis. The walikat sandang sheath is more javanese and the uikiran is too large for this blade. I guess that the previous owner replaced it. Maybe you can find a small ukiran for a patrem to complete its javanese origin.
