Please help me to identify this mandau

Hi guys. I'm new to this forum, but i've spent several days to read almost all the threads about mandaus and i found it so informative.

I have a mandau that i dont think is a real mandau, since the blade isn't like a proper mandau's blade. At first i think it's an old tourist version, but the hilt and scabbard look quite well made (the carving is so simple tho).

Can you guys please help me to identify this mandau? From which tribe? Is it made for tourist? I will appreciate all your honest comments.

Thank you

Jef
