Penangsang, thank you very much.

Your blade is very similar indeed.

No, there wasn't a needle.
The cross section of the blade is somewhere in the middle between hexagonal and oval (so I also thought of a non Sulawesi provenience), but it is also worn up.
I don't know if pendokok and handle are replacements, but it was also my question to the seller. My idee was, that a person, who is able to pay for such hilt would chose a more elaborate pendokok.
