The blade form and size makes me say badek too.

The scabbard looks a lot like early tourist goloks that were made approx 1900-1940. These tourist/souvenir items often had these type scbabbards combined with a simple golok blade or sometimes simple not laminated keris blade. The handle however would than often be a wayang figure.

This handle is very different. is it the same wood as the scabbard ?
It looks more rougher that the scabbard.

Best regards,
Willem
