Ancestor hilt or tourist piece?

the hilt is quite old and I wouldnt dismiss it as genuine although the carving is not that of high quality. The blade looks very Buginese IMHO, thus the quality of the hilt carving is "normal" under the circumstances, as we had known all along that Buginese is a warring and rough ethnic within Nusantara.

The blade is of the Buginese Sepokal form... How old it is and where it comes from, I cant tell for sure...

The hilt is like nothing i have seen before
