Sumatran sword for comment

I am almost certain that this is Sumatran, but would be happy to hear comments.
It looks as though it is an older blade in new dress.
The hilt appears to be Ivory and the rest is definitely silver.
According to an Algerian guy that I work with the insciption on the scabbard is " I believe there is no God but Allah and Mohammad is his prophet"
that on the hilt is " In the name of Allah, the Benificient, the merciful"

I am not at home and forgot to bring the dimensions with me but it is about 2 1/2 feet long overall.
