Rencong for coments

I hope the pictures are clear enough for a judgement.
Seller dated this example as from the 18th century, but i doubt. Most examples i see selling in the Net are tagged end 19th century, but i don't have the knowledge to compare them with mine.
I assume this is a real action specimen and not just tourist stuff; the blade is quite strong, the steel looks fine and its spine is rather thick.
Coments will be so much welcome.
