Helo Detlef,
Sorry, in my opinion the inscription on the buntut reads
1372 in Hijra calendar, not 1272, corresponding to about 1954 from Gregorian calendar. It looks more realistic...
Best regards
Jean

At the bottom is an arabic date, 1272 (?), so I think that the sheat is from 1855. The huge Bugis wilah is 35 cm (13,8 inch) long and have 7 luk. The big kerdas hilt is from very well patinated hippo ivory. The recent pendokok from silver was bought in KL.
My question: is it a matching ensemble? And from which area of the Peninsula are the sheath?
All comments are very appreciated,
Detlef
