Default Sumantran Keris ??

Hi,
I don't often post on this forum, but just acquired this Keris. Heavily rusted, pictures show blade after a 'good' initial clean. Is the parmor a recognised type ?

Please, any ideas as to age and origins ? ....is it a tourist piece ? Would a keris be catagorised differently due to the 'pistol hilt' grip ?

Sorry for all the questions but my knowledge is very limited on these. All comments greatfully received, thank you

Kind Regards David
