Silver type, manufacture style, along side of the hilt type, and size, I too feel this is Lombok.... the applied dragon is very atypical though...
I've a Lombok Klewang here, 100% native made that is a faithful mirror of the Dutch types in size, shapes and proportions, but with a subtle differences in the grip shape (which look like a man in prayer), fullering, and that the blade has some personal intricacies, piercings and talismanic markings... sitting is a dark Saracen finish, possibly its original warangan,
