Yes, stylistically it is reminiscent of a Javanese blade, but it is not of Javanese manufacture.
Hello Alan,
Thank you for your detailed expert opinion, I was not certain about the Javanese origin but the blade features were not specific enough for me to assume that it could be Madurese. I concur with your age estimate although I also could not tell myself.
