HUSAR, Many thanks. Now I 'm quite sure that it is SE-asian podang with a european blade.

Is there any info about the symbols ??

The symbols seems local to me, but maybe someone else with more knowledge than I have about decorations of the area can tell more.

I see a European blade here. The marks look like trade, workshop, makers stamps. I see 18th- early 19th century typology. Capital letter "A"s on there side tip to tip and hearts on there sides point-point.
