Hi Detlef,

it is a Kayan ilang, but I wouldn't place it as 'Longglat'.
The Longglats were praised for their high end blades, like the one in my post (photo 'copied' from Arjan's website some time ago).

I would estimate your ilang first quarter of the 20thC, maybe early/around 1900's and unfortuntely I can't help you with the stamps, but what Kai mentions about your blade looks very plausible to me.
