Hi Henk,
What kind of wood would this be if of Javanese origin? (It's carved pretty crudely and the wood is very light.) AFAIK, there are no pines on Jawa but they are native to Sulawesi (mountain peaks)...
As given above, the blade is really stubby. The Sulawesi hilt is of average size, give or take. The whole assembly is feels more like a Moro gunong than the more graceful keris patrem I've seen pics of!
Regards,
