Hello Jean,

The scabbard and hilt are from South Sumatra and the rustic naga seems original from the pics (the pamor lines are continuous).

While the pamor seems to extend through the naga, the latter does seem to be a candidate for it being recarved from a plain gandik of an originally larger keris. In any case, it is rather poor craftsmanship as you laready suggested...
