Amongst the old school collectors of Central Jawa during the late 20th century, a major indicator for tombak classification was the metuk.
The metuk on this tombak under discussion is the form attributed to Buton province in Sulawesi.
The blade itself I'd prefer to reserve comment on, it is similar in some respects to a Javanese form, but there are insufficient indicators present for me to form an opinion I could defend.
Details of the landeyan (shaft) might assist.
