The fittings look fairly recent to me (even given the cracks at the hilt). Not sure that the blade is much older either; I'd guess current production or from the last few decades.

I'm especially wondering about the placement of the rib: in Indonesian blades this is usually found along the center of the blade and less pronounced than in the Arab progenitor.

Regards,
Kai
