Hi Blu,
Yes, the combination is still valid. I think that its later because its from a different wood from the sampir. As far as i can see from the pics it looks much softer the work is almost probably from a different person. What i observe is that, later hilt usually uses softer wood. The blade quality and form looks quite different from the east cost one. But again, this is just a guessing game.
