If we were to remove that fluted addition to the metuk we would have something very close to a Pajajaran/North Coast Jawa metuk, and the body of the blade could pass for Surakarta, but I do not think this is a Jawa tombak, the motif on the brongsong is a lung-lungan style, but not Central Jawa, the shaft tapering to a small diameter butt & lacking a tunjung does not look Javanese.
I have no firm opinion on origin.
