Sword to identify

What is it - a kalawija golok or pedang? Due to that it has kembang kacang. The total length including the hilt is near 22 inches. Pamor untu walang or uler lulut (not quite visible, as the blade was not washed).

And from which region - Sumatra or mid Java? Was told this is from Sumatra, but I thought it looks from mid Java. On the other hand, the hilt of this pedang/golok looks quite similar to the hilt from Surakarta keris. Any input from this forum is appreaciated. Thanks.
