New Addition #1 Bugis?

[Alam Shah]

A beautiful Peninsular Malaysian blade, probably originated from Terengganu. On it's type and origin... looks like a Carita or 'Tok Chu' piece... hmmm. It looks like it's fastened by a piece of cloth.. does it budge when you try to turn it clockwise or anti-clockwise?

Thanks guys for the edification.
There is no cloth. It's remnants of old adhesive. It doesn't wiggle or budge.
I will carefully heat the blade up when I get the courage, someday.....

I see.. I'm mistaken then.. thanks for the clarification.. sometimes it may take a few attempt before it get loosen.. but normally, I won't force it out, risk breaking the hilt..

Carita, by characteristics, "Tok Chu", to be precise.

Unfortunately, I lack the knowledge. Perhaps other more knowledgeable person, may do so.. . But how the blade looks like, the available features, typical of a 'Tok Chu' piece.
