Thank you for your input! 
Question number one - how to remove handle? 
Number two - it is fresh red rust on the blade. How to clean the blade on the keris? I'm used to smooth, polished blades and deeply etched keris blade is new to me... I don't want it to rust, but I don't want to remove patina etc ether...  
Number three - I paid xxxx for this one on estate sale. Is it high, low? I tried to search eBay, but prices there is all over the place... 
 
Edit: 
We don't discuss value here; but having said that you got a good deal.
