Did I buy a Rencong?

Hello All,
Just received this knife today. Looks like an Acehenese Rencong to me. Blade seems to be hand forged monosteel of good quality. Scabbard and hilt are brass with a silver wash. Craftsmanship is pretty good. I'll try to get better pictures this weekend. Any comments or information are very welcome. The completed auction is here.
