African knife / WW2 souvenir?

Cheers,

got this knife recently.
Story is it was brought home by a German soldier from Northern Africa.
Any chance this is likely?

Thanks in advance for any input,
taube.

Thanks and sorry for posting in the wrong section.
The top one could be from Algeria I was told.
Bosnia could also be an option.

Keris / Bali or Lombok

Gentlemen,

here is a Keris that I got a while ago.
I was told it is from Bali or Lombok.
The hilt is pleasantly simple.
Can someone add to the above description?
Maybe put in a date range?...

Got it hanging on my wall ;)
Length is 134 cm.
The one end of the string is knotted to the wood.
The other end is quite a simple sling that just slips on.
