Pirarung?
Sheathed, this one looks like a barong. Unsheath it and lo it is a latter form yakan pira. And not just that, it is a large one too. 17.5" blade 24.5" overall, and 1/4" thick near the hilt. Compare this to the smaller and more common pira at the bottom.
One thing noticeable is that it lacks the shandigan feature so common in latter form piras.
