Hilt carving and mount style seem to be Cirebon, northern Java. This is a sword style typical of that area, so that's my guess.

I tend to agree with CharlesS. Looks like a pedang tusuk or tempius jawa, but the hilt looks like a keris hilt. The silverworks are indeed indonesian styled. Imo, only.

Similar example of a pedang tusuk or tempius jawa.

I agree with Alam Shah. That hilt looks like an ukiran from Cirebon. The sword is a pedang type.
