The sword has a fairly substantial blade that measures approximately 20-1/2 inches in length and has a width at the base of approximately 2-1/4 inches; it appears to be a real fighting weapon.
Thanks to this forum I think I've found a Taiwanese shield which I am currently trying to convince its current owner that it would be better in my collection!

Yes, that was me! Welcome to the forum and I believe you do indeed have a nice example of a Taiwanese aboriginal sword. I have had several people mention that the "Warriors of the Rainbow" is an excellent movie so I need to track down a copy to watch. Good find with this sword!
