A big heavy Klewang from Celebes or Moluccas.

The handle in perfect condition all rattan still present and in good condition.
a buffalohorn ring at the base of the handel. the wood shows extensive patina.

Please compare with the example in Zonneveld's TWOIA.
This one does not have the handguard and appears not to be made without the guard.

This one appears to be made without the handguard.
So, no signs of a former fixed handguard that went missing.
