I'm not saying that's what this but... There are many swords, daggers, and bayonets being made in China, that kinda-sorta look like historical pieces, but are off in many respects. And they look old, and well used. This knife looks like a cross between a Kris, a Gonong, and a Barong.
I am aware of this but in this case the seller was from the States.
