Unless you see some folding lines, I would guess that it is late 20th C. from Java. I have one just like it. I have not seen the red paint before though. The paint might be for tourists, but the Chinese are also known to paint blades red that are no longer being used. This may be to help against the bad luck of a weapon that has been used.
