From what little i can see of it Carlos it is not really possible to be sure what it is. Can you show some images of the entire piece?

Looks to be a classic Sumatran 'parang Palembang'...and a nice one! It may go by other names as well. Please see:

Hello Carlos,
This is a pedang variant that is known from the Palembang hinterlands, the Rawas region in the upper Musi river system. I've seen the names Penai and Pelitei used for this type - both certainly need some more research though! Regards, Kai |
