New keris I picked up. I know nothing about them. Help!

I think i would agree with that. Keep in mind that there are all quality levels of keris. This is hardly a keraton piece. Really high quality keris can bring a rather high price tag. I think your blade is fairly well made and has a certain elegance to it, but it is not high end work. Ditto again what Rick and other have said of the dress. The blade seems nicer than the furniture.
