Parang -- Borneo/Malay
Agree with Federico and Rick. The hilt, especially the pommel, and scabbard looks fairly typical dyak work. The blade has a strong Malay flavor. Not as flamboyant as the parang pattani that DA Henkel posted some time ago. I think Adni could probably give us the correct name for this blade.
My guess is (N.) Borneo for the origin of this one.
