Old bali blade in tourist dress

It is always difficult to appraise a blade from photographs, especially when the blade is out of stain, and if the photos are not taken at an angle as close to 90 degrees as is possible,however, based upon what I can see in these photos I am inclined to think that this blade is either Bali or Lombok. There are too many non-typical features for me to give it as a Javanese blade.

New Balinese dress is probably not a financially viable option.
