Not sure why you would consider 14 inches as possibly being sword length, but yes, i would certainly classify this as a dagger.
I tend to agree with Paul's description and if you hold this properly that hilt seems to be in a fairly logical position to me.
What no one has said yet is that this appears to be a rather nice keris of this type with a beautiful, well made blade and nice fittings. It does look like the sheath is missing it buntet at the end of the stem, but otherwise it looks complete and in good condition. Though we don't talk money on this forum i still must remark that you seem to have gotten quite a steal on this one. Nice catch!
