Thank you Colin. Unfortunately I do not have the book that you have mentioned. Do you by any chance have access to the photo you are referring to where you could post a copy of it here? To answer your question, yes this was sourced here in the U.S. Now that you mention it the general blade shape does remind me of a hinalung I once saw a photo of with the same protrusions at the base of the blade.
Best,
Robert
