flaming blade old dagger

Thank you both gentlemen for the important info. This explains why the handle was so unbalanced for such a heavy blade.
Any guess on its age ? Can i advance 19th. century ? I mean both blade and handle mounting, as the condition of the ferrule and the wood ( i've pictured the best part ) shows it's not a contemporary job.
Is it possible that this type of spear was used in Timor ? I wonder how this piece showed up so distantly as Portugal ... Timor was our last connection over there.
Thank you for further help.
