That is an exquisite find!!!!
I'd almost think it was a rehilted Opi if it weren't for the inward curve near the ferule.
My guess is that it's a Sumatran klewang, but with a blade far older (possibly early to mid 19th century) than the hilt and scabbard and definitely a keeper by anyone's standards.
Congratulations on a wonderful addition to your collection.
Mike
