Interesting piece. Are the pins brass or silver?

My first thoughts went to Borneo; a 'nyabor' type blade, a bit a Sumatran type hilt though. >Unusual type of Nyabor ?< ('nyabor' is used in Borneo; Sarawak side, near Brunei).
But am far from sure . . . . .

I too thought Sumatra. You've done a nice job cleaning it up.
