Hello Leif,
I agree that this seems to be a bahari blade (length?). It may well have been shortened; however, it may also be a Malay variant of the well-known Bangkinang style. Some close-ups would be good.

I don't know much about kerises, but to my eyes this one appears to be put up together from different pieces that initially didn't belong together.

I see where you come from, Marius - we'll probably never know though: It could also be a legit piece that got repaired in a modest village environment...
Regards,
Kai
