A Nice Example of a Melayu Kriss

What a nice piece. Are the fittings swassa?

They do look like suasa.

What do you think about the date of this piece, Battara? and where do you think exactly this was made? was the blade possibly made in a different location than the hilt/scabbard/fittings?

I'm with Charles, I think this is Malay peninsula and perhaps 19c.
