If that gangya has silver in it or is silver it would turn black with an etch . 
Suspect that it is high nickel content alloy . 
The hilt reminds me of Borneo work without the inten . 
Also , is it just me or is that a pretty skinny tang on this sword . 
 
Could we possibly be looking at a genuine Borneo kris ?
