Hello Michael,
Where do you find all those Terengganu examples?!?
How is the clamp attached?

It looks like the hilt was made from the same block of wood as the sheath so I don't think it was an isolated repair.
Maybe a complete later redress however?

To me it seems that the blade may also not be very old - just going by the workmanship. BTW, can you see what caused the notches visible in the separation line?
I'd guess that the whole ensemble got made en suite. Maybe WW2 (+/- 30 years)?
Regards,
Kai
