5: The mendak does not look appropriate to this hilt?. I guess I will replace this with an old pendokok .

Origin is East Jawa, metal is 99.9% certain to be mamas, I do not know the composition of mamas. This type of wrongko is not common, I do not know if this type of wrongko had restricted use, but my guess would be that it did not, I do not know if it had any special, dedicated purpose.

No comment on the hilt.

Yes, in Jawa we'd just designate the blade as "Bugis".
