Aceh Sikin?

Hello, fellow collectors!
I have a question regarding the attribution of this piece.
The blade is in the style of the aceh sikin swords, but the hilt is quite different different. What are your thoughts on this piece?
Thanks!

Nice sikin blade. :)

The handle has nothing to do with the blade and was attached later.
Considering the shape i would guess that the handle belongs on a fancy dinning table attached to a meat carving knife or fork :shrug:

My own theory is might be a handle is from a very high end umbrella. It is very good quality silver, of superb workmanship.

a very similar sword was posted a while back, LINKY .

one conclusion was someone fitted a burmese silver parasol handle to a sikin blade....

Thanks for the link!!!
