ASOMotif and VVV,

What specifically takes away from its identity as "Dayak"?....the scabbard designs?? ivory hilt???...etc.

The hilt form seems identical to one in Z's minus the girth. BUT... a similar form is also seen with a beladau (Sumatra, Mentawai, Riau). The silverwork does not strike me as Sumatran.
