Here's mine... blade have some similarities, but hilt is different.

It seems as if Shahrial's sundang also has a blade motif resembling mine?
I haven't seen it on the few documented Malay sundang I have in books.

On the material mine is brass and another kind of wood than what is usually seen on Moro kris.
I like your hilt. It reminds me about this one that we have discussed before.

It looks like horn, probably rhino horn to me.
