Actually this needs to go to the Ethno Forum and not the Keris Forum. Moderators please move this.
Now to your questions:
1. I would place this kris into the very early 1800s.
2. Maguindanao would be my guess on tribal origins.
3. The scabbard is unusual and not a common Maguindanao form.
A very nice piece especially with that great twist core!
