I've seen curved keris before. Rather unusual, I think. A friend of my owns one with luk and I've seen by a fellow collector a straight one. Both of these keris where curved like a Jambiya. Yours is only curved at the end of the blade. Very nice find and if I rembered well the region where these keris came from was arround Palembang indeed. The sheath is a scandinavian one I think. More Puukko like. The sheath for both keris I've seen was a curved walikat sandang.
