Too bad. I always wonder when i see keris like this without a sheath. You would have thought the previous owner would have been able to appropriately dress it.
The hilt seems very much a Bali style, but the blade does not. Also it carries a Javanese mendak so my guess is that this was dressed for Javanese wear once.
