Hello Tatjana,
only the hilt and pendokok is from Sumatra, blade and scabbard are from Java, the tilam upih blade is indeed very nice, scabbard is sadang walikat style. The hilt don't belong to this blade. I would put the very nice ivory hilt on a stand and would look for a proper hilt and mendak for the ensemble. Can you show a picture how the blade fit inside the scabbard?
Regards,
Detlef
