As I understand, the most old examples of this Burung Serindit hilt form are coming from the opposite coast - Perlis, Kedah, Perak.
Also the elongated Buntut Lipas of scabbard is associated with this coast.
Perhaps there is a little possibility the sampir has been very slightly changed in form at some time.

Going over old threads looking for clues on another matter, I agree with Gustav To me, all features, including the manner of the carving and incising, it has a very Perak flavour to it.
