Bonjour Alain, welcome to our community!
Do a search for pedang on this forum - that will yield several reference threads. Based on the scabbard, I believe your piece is more likely to originate from Lombok. A few more pics would be good to estimate age. Sharp close-ups of the inscription will make translation possible - long texts like this are usually citations from the koran. Sometimes these were added later to the blades to make them more attractive - the quality of the worrkmanship makes me wonder wether this may be the case here. Regards, Kai |

Lombok
Welcome,
I agree with the Lombok attribution, the hilt shows a distinct cockatoo with its crest raised. I hope you enjoy the forum as much as everyone else here. Gavin |
