Actually I cannot see nothing typically Terengganu neither in hilt and Pendokok, nor in scabbard and blade.
As I understand, the most old examples of this Burung Serindit hilt form are coming from the opposite coast - Perlis, Kedah, Perak.
Also the elongated Buntut Lipas of scabbard is associated with this coast.
Perhaps there is a little possibility the sampir has been very slightly changed in form at some time.
