			In my experience this would be a Sulu blade.  The top of the scabbard in this boat shape is also indicative of Sulu pieces. 
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	However, there was a lot of trade in the region with Tausug people, so would not be surprised if it might have been traded in Sumatra. I think it more likely that the dealer gave it a mistaken attribution.  |
