Don't give to much effort to this piece. The scabbard can be glued together with very fast drying glue. Maybe you can make the missing piece from the grip from a piece of wood and attach it to the remains of the grip.

This piece is certainly not a new grip and scabbard worth. It probably will cost you more than buying an authentic one.

I have a rencong. Does this look like the real thing or a 'tourist' type?
Please let me know your frank opinions.
The handle is buffalo horn and the sheath is some kind of horn ,too (I think.)

Looks a little "toursity" and small. What are the dimensions?

The blade is 6 inches, total is around 9 1/2 inches. It's belonged to a collector, someone's grandfather who had passed-on. His niece sold the piece to me.

That's all I know about this piece.
Thanks Battara for your attention.
