I am surprised no one has addressed you post yet.
I agree that the hilt is in the style of these older keris assigned to Makassar-Gowa, but this does not seem to be all that old this is not the style of blade that is to be found in those early examples. The blade here does seem to have some age, but i'm not sure it is any older than late 19th century. The sheath looks like a much later creation, likely karmardikan.
I have attached a number of examples of what the older forms attached to this style of dress look like.
