Hello Jose,

my best guess that it is a Sumatra (Riau?) Bugis keris. I also think that the handle show Sumatra influence (Minang, Riau?). Sheath form isn't pure Sulawesi form. Pendok is maybe a more recent addition. Gilded "pendoks" could be simple a sign of wealth but it could be that it was added by a selling purpose.
Still a nice keris.

Regards,

Detlef
