Hi John a portugese influence or dutch would not only on the scabbard but also on the sword
the dutch klewang was made after the dutch soldiers have to get in touch with the pedeuang .

A very nice book is Marchaussee in Atjeh to read about the war overthere

Dutch scabbards (From that period) are mostly from metal not from leather and wood like some Indian weapons

The real war starting in atjeh is probably the that they killed dutch people in september 1811 and gouverment overthere
The Dutch used this as an excuse to send an expedition to Palembang ( Raffles luitenatant-gouveneur van Java bij this time April 1812)
to get Banka in his hands

In 19 aug 1816 the british Flag was changed to the Dutch and we get on may
22 1819 Padang in our hands

The expediton against Palembang did start in 1821
