Kris Sumatra or Malay?

Thank you Dave and I have a similar piece to yours attributed to South Sumatra and with a "Durga" style hilt also; however the other one was supposed to originate from Jambi because of the wide and strong blade but I agree that Bengkulu is a more likely origin and so I will also replace the hilt!

Sorry for the picture quality, the good one magically disappeared!

As I understand now, the sheaths shown in the last 3 posts could be also typical for Lampung.
