Hi Willem,

This looks like a fairly standard contemporary dress for this old tombak .

Here is another style of decoration; I don't know if these styles are regional or not .

I could suggest that the carved drag on the bottom of your scabbard reminds me of some Madura scabbards .

That is my feeling too.

Nice carving on your example BTW.

Best regards,
Willem
