WOW! THIS TAKES GUNONGS TO A WHOLE NEW LEVEL .
I TOO WAS THINKING ALONG THE LINES OF THE BLADE BEING MADE FROM A LARGER BLADE CUT DOWN PERHAPS A CUSTOM ORDER. THE OTHER POSSIBILITY IS A SHOP PRODUCING HIGH END WEAPONS USING CUT DOWN BLADES AND EXPENSIVE FITTINGS TO SELL TO THE DEMAND OF RICH CLIENTS. THE SPANISH COME TO MIND AS THEY HAD WEALTHY OFFICERS AND FLASHY WEAPONS AND UNIFORMS APPEALED TO THEM. NO DOUBT WEALTHY PHILIPPINOS OF THE TIME WOULD HAVE LIKED THEM AS WELL. CONGRADULATIONS ON SOME REAL BEAUTIES.
