Here is another pira for comparison. This one is just 26in. overall, with a 17in. pattern welded blade.
DaveS : The wood hilt/pommel is the same type of wood as yours. This particular one has an unusual nuance just above the grip. Were it not there it would be a more typical pira pommel. Perhaps you can see why I suggested that yours might have been cut down to make it a more practical utilitarian piece rather than just a weapon.
I love these. They are very atypical to most Moro blades.
