Sraits(?), Malay(?), need your opinion

Some dress is revered and retained through one's lifetime.
Some are repairs with inserts of horn or timber, to lift the blade to appropriate placement within the dress.
Such things can be done in favour of other blades such as this example was.

With regards to this example, the sampir has received the insert as pictured, the rare hulu has received a new horn covering below the beltline, and the butnut is also fixed with an unassuming horn type.

Quite the complete overhaul for it's replacement blade.
