Looks like a keris picit or pejetan to my eyes. Scabbard is a recent replacement like the handle also. Blade seems to be old but pictures can deceive.
Regards,

A club for identification
I've won a German auction for a club and a pedant, the pedant is in my humble opinion from the Asmat people and I guess that the club is from West New Guinea or Papua New Guinea but I am unsure. Any...
