An older, possibly centuries old blade in 20th century dress.

Hello Marius,

We had a similar discussion here 2013 before: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...ighlight=badik
Look special to #38, our senior member Dave Henkel who is very knowledgeable about Malay blades explained it very clearly. The dagger in question is a Malay badik and I guess that the fittings are antique as well.
Here post #38 from the given thread: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showpo...8&postcount=38
I've said the same as you to this time but I was prooven wrong!

Regards,
Detlef
