Interesting keris sold on E-bay
Some time ago this keris was sold on e-bay. I am curious what you think about. I have no clue from where exactly this unusual keris. Here the pictures from the seller.

Interesting, to my untrained (and ignorant) eye, the scabbard reminds me of something Patani, peninsular Malay, and the selut looks Bugis. Was this a mix of influences or parts? What am I missing?

I get a Sumatran impression from the blade itself ; an observation only FWIW .
  I admit to ignorance of the finer points of this ensemble . |

the blade is called "charita", said to be from Pattani / northern Peninsula. The sheath looks like coteng, also from Southern Thailand / Singgora area....

It's a coteng keris body with a jawa demam hilt.
 Though a bit mismatched, the parts are very nice.
