This does a look a bit like a Sumatran Jawa demam hilt.
With anatomical problems, it seems...

This hilt is certainly interesting (seems to have decent age - albeit a bit coarsely carved details).

If pressed hard, I might tend towards one of the smaller sultanates along the Sumatran East coast (Siak, etc.).

The scabbard (with possibly replaced buntut) and the pretty generic sepokal blade don't help placing it for me...
