Should i presume you meant to say that the blade looks original to the sheath? I would image that the blade would have to be original to the keris.

I don't will rule out the Sumatran East coast origin but I have seen some similar handles in this Jawa Deman style which were attributed to Sumbawa. And when I get pressed I would agree with this for the complete keris.

Yes indeed, this Jawa Deman hilt is quite unusual with these geometrical panels.
