I agree with you Detlef.
It reminds me of the Nias Lasara hilts so that general area I'd say.
Possibly Malay, some parang variant?

The carving at the scabbard mouth let me think more to Batak origin.

Could be buddy.
That general area I'd say. Sumartra/Indonesia/Malaysia.
I was just googling parang and coming up with some fairly close matches.

Have a look to the carvings at the scabbard from my rawit: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?t=14105

Very similar IMHO.

Best,

Hmm, the subtleties of the various regions are a bit beyond me mate!
I agree it looks similar.
Very nice Rawit by the way!
