Collectible? Yes, the blade is antique, the Minang fittings are possibly made for selling purpose but maybe already old, around the mid 20th century, maybe a little bit older. The fittings (scabbard, handle & hilt cup) are made in Minangkabau style. The blade is definitely not from the Minangkabau culture. The poorest part is in my opinion the pendok (the metal oversheat), it's poorly made. Is it silver? Have you tried to polish it up? Or is the scabbard stem from wood? Difficult to say from the pictures!
Others may have a different opinion, it's my personal opinion about your keris.
