Can anyone please tell me more about this kris? I've been told it's from Java, Indonesia. It has the characteristic pamor (line pattern in the steel, see picture to the right) and it looks pretty old. I would like to know it's age, location, value, history, any information is welcome.

Indonesian for sure. Not being a keris expert, I can't tell whether it's Javanese. It isn't one of the common obviously non-Javanese types, so "Javanese" is a reasonably ID.
These can be tricky to estimate the age of. Blades and dress are often of different ages (and from different places - is a Bali keris with a Javanese blade a Javanese keris or a Bali keris?). Your blade looks old (19th century? early 20th?), the dress maybe mid 20th century.
