No doubt from the looks of it, all parts seems original, but nevertheless, as Newsteel had indicated... the hilt type is typical of those used by the Northern Malay... in the regions of Kelantan and Pattani. Mainly used on Parang Jengok, Anak Wali and some other local weapons and tools.
(reference: "Spirit of Wood", pg. 104), turned hilt... although these are more elaborate example.
