Hello Emmanuel,
How long is the scabbard and how long is the blade without hilt?
Any pic of the whole blade?

I believe that Willem strikes pretty close to home with his Sumbawa suggestion; some of the shorter Sumbawa klewang do come with slender blades. I feel certain that this is no Sekin hilt - it may well be a variant Sumbawa hilt and seems to have genuine age. I agree that hilt and scabbard don't seem to match well: Looks like the silver ridges at the middle of the scabbard mouth got bent sideways to allow the hilt to meet the scabbard...
Regards,
Kai
