Hello Arjan,

In my opinion it is a Javanese Golok. The shape of the blade, the scabbard and the lower part of the hilt all are 'right'. The upper part of the hilt, and the attached hair seem to be 'wrong' however. I suppose the upper part has been broken off, and the hair has been attached later. I think the complete hilt had a styilized bird's head as motif. You still see three rows of feathers on top of the head.

Regards,
Albert
