Hello Dave,
it is a better example of a WWII or later Moro kris, note that the handle is attached in the "wrong" direction, typical for later Moro kris. The ganja don't will be separate, again a sign for a later piece. The file work is also not the finest you can find, again a sign for a kris of this time frame. Nice that all mother of pearl inlays at the handle still in place. The blade could be laminated IMHO. Nice kris from this time.
Regards,
Detlef
