 Well, i would not say that lack of tarnish alone means their is gold content. I just suggested that it could indicate the metal was suassa. You would have to have it tested to be sure. 
I suppose this kris could be mid-18th century, but i would tend to be a little more conservative than that. maybe early to mid-19th century. But it is pretty hard to be sure about such datings. 
Love to see the kris again once to etch and clean.
