IT LOOKS A LOT LIKE SOME OF THE STRANGE LITTLE SWORDS REPRESENTED ON THE SOUVINEER PLACKS (WEAPONS OF MORO LAND). WHAT SIZE IS IT ?
AS TO GETTING IT IDENTIFIED IT IS A COMBINATION OF MORE THAN ONE TYPE BLADE WITH CUT OUT WORK AS IN A KRIS A BLADE TIP CLOSER TO A KAMPILLIAN OR ONE OF SEVERAL TYPES OF PARANG. THE HANDLE IS NOT TYPICAL OF ANY I KNOW AND LOOKS LIKE A TREE ROOT BUT IN SOME WAYS RESEMBLES A CRUDE KAMPILLIAN HANDLE. THERE IS QUITE A LOT OF VARIETY IN THE MONSTER HEAD TYPE PARANGS (BINANGON) SO IT IS LIKELY IT WOULD FIT THERE ABOUT AS WELL AS ANYWHERE.

DEFFINITELY A STRANGE BEASTY
