IMHO, at 12.5 ins it is unmistakeably an Anak Alang.
The hilt seems to be a stylized Tapak Kuda (horse's hoof), but I admit I have not seen the top being horizontal. Most tend to either be vertical or at an incline.
The sheath is Minangkabau.
Very good condition of the ricikan
Congrats on a good acquisition
