Thanks for the comment guys. Swerte lang(just got lucky). I do not know what the inscripition says, that is one of the reasons why I posted it here. Anyone know how to read arabic? here is a picture of the back of the scabbard, it also has inscription. Any help in translating this would be greatly appreciated.

The front part is Bismillahi rahmani rahim (In the name of God, most Gracious, most Merciful) and the one on the back is Allahu Akbar (God is great).
Truly a beautiful kris, with the kind of fullered blade Malays usually esteem in a sundang. Don't mind owning one myself
