Hello Ian,
sorry, but I think that this heavy kris sword was meant for real use and I would guess that it is from the late 19th century or early 20th century. When I remember correct was the seller of the same opinion. The nicks in the edges shows that it was used IMVHO. This sword, when it is the same one, wasn't from ebay but was sold from a well known site in the States. I still keep the original pictures, maybe they are more meaningful.
Just get the information that the sword was indeed listed at ebay before it was sold from the mentioned site.
Regards,
Detlef
