nechesh,

It seems like the blade had been modifed to fit the sheath.
See picture 2, the part near the hilt, seems to be filed.

Kujang comes mostly from Sunda, West Java.
Rencong comes from Sumatra, Aceh, Gayo and Alas.
For this example, from the meucangge 'curved hilt', it is from Aceh, Indonesia.

It is a tombak dapur kudi, mounted as a rencong. I own a similar tombak dressed as a sumatran keris, made for the tombak.

I truly appreciate your kind responses and information. It is all helpful. It raises some questions for me but I will research these.
Thanks again,

Brett
