Hello Willem,

Seems to be an Pedang (type 3 in AvZ) blade. Ethnic Malay?

Regards,
Kai

I also think it's from Sumatra and has a replaced handle.
Really strange protrusion? Usually it looks more like the pedang III, like Kai indicated.

Thanks all for the expertise.
Sumatran blade. restoring (other hilt)is not really helpfull I think.

Best regards,
Willem
