An other one with the wrongko " in good shape " this time !

I am not sure the sarung is the right one for this blade !?
Any idea what kind of buntut could fit this sheath to match ?

Sumatran or Bugis blade for this pamor ?

Thank you all for your comments

This seems to be a Sumatrese Bugis kris from Riau Lingga, the hilt is in anak ayam/ Jawa demam style from East Sumatra, and it should have a flat buntut as the kris shown on the attached picture. However this kris could originate from Sulawesi if the original hilt was replaced.
