I agree with Sajen. Lovely piece with a later, but not inappropriate, scabbard. Congrats on a nice find.

So it's Malay/Sumatran Badik.
Thank you all for your feedbacks.

I believe we are looking at the blade of a jambiyo, most likely made in the Bugis tradition, that has been remounted as a badik, probably in Sumatera.
