Gustav,It is indeed a kris for a nobleman. Congrats on an excellent find.
I wish it was as easy as visiting a U.S. flea market and finding such a piece (unless your name happened to be Spunjer). I've been to many flea markets with expectations of finding treasures and 99% of the time exiting the place with empty hands.
On the suassa dot on the blade, I'm leaning towards a forging flaw cover up. If the indentation was intentional, I think that it would have been placed in the center...my 0.02.
