As Kai Wee mentioned I have discussed this blade with him and in my opinion this blade is definitely a Pattani piece. however, the defining characteristic is not the medial spine but rather the greneng - which is textbook Pattani. The dress is also. BTW the pendokok is tin and given the poorish fit and mismatch in quality with the rest of the piece, is probably a later replacement. The original was most likely a much nicer one in silver or perhaps even gold that was sold off. A nice example and definitely not a run of the mill piece.

Also, the blade you posted in post #15 is in my collection. Bought in Riau (Tg. Pinang) some years back - and probably from there - as a bare blade with the pendokok but no sheath or hilt. Note the difference in the greneng...
