Yes, i forgot to mention that the mendak has been flattened. I believe Alan's idea might be best in spite of his identifying this blade as probably as East Jawa/Madura. A planar hilt will give the over all ensemble it's best look and it isn't too hard or expensive to come by a decent example. Probably simple without a selut. You can also find a decent mendak for this pretty reasonably priced as well.
