Sword for identification

[Alam Shah]

I was just wondering what does this sword resemble?
Where does the design originated. Any ideas? :confused:

Judging by the picture, it looks almost theatrical to me.
Is the blade "real"? The handguard looks flimsy; is it?
Smooth handle would not be good for fighting in a hot/humid climate. Scabbard... New?
I think better pics are needed to get some idea what we are talking about.

The ensemble was made around 1969.
Scabbard... 1969.
Sorry, this is the only picture that I have. :(

Locally, it's called, "Buaya Berenang", which literally means, a swimming croc.
