Here is what they look like if you buy them in Indonesia nowadays.
I got mine in 2005 and I don't think it is much older...

But it's of course another matter if you hold it in your hand.
If you are convinced that it is the real thing then probably it is.
It just looks less like a weapon than those I have seen in other collections.
Is it heavy when you handle it and does it have the weight at the tip?

PS I don't think they are the same as Belida.
The Belida blades are much better and also longer, more like the Pade/Klewang type.
Check 'stick sword' in van Z for a reference picture.
