Hi Steve,
That sampir is not bulan sabit or sari bulan type but it is of Minang Kabau, more towards central Sumatra. Nice fossil hilt too.

About the buntut, my opinion is that it need to flow down harmonously from the stem (batang) down to the buntut. I found that yours is slightly too big. Maybe other members (like VVV, AlamShah) can show some better pictures for example.
