Terengganu (?) keris for comment

It's difficult to say, because it appears to be a mix of parts.

I cannot comment on blade, sheath could also be Riau-Lingga (very similar and almost the same to Terengganu form, which tend to become boxier approaching newer times) - see the well known golden Sultan's Keris. Pendongkok could come from everywhere, but is not typical for Peninsula. Hilt is more likely Sumatra/Straits.
