Jup, a pedang suduk.

But I guess that it's much older as mid. 20th century, at least the blade. The lamination is a good sign of prior date.

Indeed as mentioned a Pedang Suduk (Maru). They can be quite old, but the early examples used to have better quality fittings and hilt. I would date it somewhere in the 19th century. Looking at the fittings second half.
a little TLC and you have a nice authentic sword.

Good catch.
