Hi All,

Perhaps a tombak from Sumatra or Java?

Is anyone familiar with the metalwork below the metuk?

Total Length of Tombak - 186 cm

Length Tip to Metuk - 32cm

Cheers

This comment addresses only the tombak, not the shaft.

The metuk is unmistakably Tuban style, which in real terms means North Coast Jawa & to the West. However, the body of the tombak is not Tuban and I cannot give an opinion from a photo, I would need to handle it.
