Moro Kris with rare shaped blade

1st one I have seen, so thanks so much for posting. Gorgeous piece!

The blade shape does not seem to alter in any way the way the kriss would be used in combat.

I have to wonder if this is "influenced" by something else, since this blade type/shape is not typically Moro.

Beautiful kris. I also have seen at least 2 others (maybe they are the same 2 you have seen) so this makes 3.

not really it's brass, I think.
It hasn't been polished, I don't think Dave S. polished it when it was on his display board.

Nice. Wonder if there is any significance or meaning to this kris?

Heres a pic of another kris with the same style blade. Forgot where I found this pic.
