My Dutch is lousy but I think we should call a spade a spade for the forum to keep its value as a resource site.
Henk, I can see why you think it might be a Penai Toraja based on parts of the hilt but I find it a bit to far fetched. If you look closer to the hilt I think it's supposed to imitate a Nias sword, which also would explain the top carvings. The blade is of course also a fantasy product.

I just wanted give my input on what it might be supposed to imitate.
