Hi Michael,
my guess as well. Based upon the the thick smoke patina special at the sheath I would guess middle until second half last century. But it seems that it was used, for ceremonial purpose maybe?
I know from a friend in Indonesia who coming from Alor that they still in use. He as well think that it is not very old.
Regards,
Detlef
