Nope...

Blade is North Peninsular Malaysia region type (which includes Southern Thailand...)

Lew, very nice blade BTW!

OK

Does anyone have a hilt and mendak that they would like to donate so I can properly dress this keris blade.

Alternatively you could commission a new hilt, mendak and sheath.

An example of a newly commissioned fittings.

Incidentally, this example was acquired with a Balinese hilt like yours.
