Hi Spunjer,
I believe the hilt is called tumbak lada (pepper crusher) but I believe the type of blade is a bade bade. The blade looks old and authentic. The hilt, while correctly made, appears to be too big for this particular blade. So it would appear that this is a married piece with the hilt and sheath en suite but with the blade belonging to a separate dress. There is nothing tourist however.
Sincerely,
RobT
