It's difficult to say, because it appears to be a mix of parts.

I cannot comment on blade, sheath could also be Riau-Lingga (very similar and almost the same to Terengganu form, which tend to become boxier approaching newer times) - see the well known golden Sultan's Keris. Pendongkok could come from everywhere, but is not typical for Peninsula. Hilt is more likely Sumatra/Straits.

Thank you Gustav! The pendokok is from silver, seldom seen by Bugis pendokoks and nearly undecorated so my first impression that it's Maly. But you could be correct.
You are also correct that it seems to be a "mix of parts" but I think that it was for a long time together like this.
