It is indeed a mismatch. Hilt is Jawa Demam form (pattani's region) and it's made from hardwood - kenaung, pendokok was a bugis form. Blade is a pattani's carita. The sheath was made with 1 piece of wood. It was cut due to the rust / gung build up inside the batang end that hinder the blade to be housed out, suspect it was cut to release the blade.
Original coteng hilt was removed - suspect a coteng of a silver media removed for previous owner collection. Sheath was belief to be made from sena wood.
