"Malaysian kris/keris"

If it is pot metal, or white metal or even pewter, I would be pretty certain that it is not Indonesian.

In addition, stylistically it is unlike anything that I've ever seen that was made in Indonesia.

However, there is a long tradition of souvenir items coming out of Malaysia, I think principally Selangor and Kuala Lumpur, of full size and miniature weapons with blades from metals other than ferric material.
