Yes, looks to be 19thC with Wos Wutah. The cekah solas (assumption since i can't quite count the cuts to know if they add up to 11) hilt is, of course, backwards and needs to be turned 180 degrees. Does it have a uwer? I can't tell because of the string from the tag. Has and old original Bali stain, which despite the worn out areas i would not personally restain.
