TRUE IT IS NOT A PIRA OR A BANGKUNG BUT IT SHOWS INFLUENCE FROM BOTH AND HAS FEATURES SIMULAR TO BOTH. IT MAY HAVE BEEN FASHIONED AFTER SOMETHING ELSE ENTIRELY OR PATTERENED AFTER SOMETHING ON ONE OF THE MORO WEAPONS PLACKS. THE ONLY WAY TO KNOW FOR SURE WOULD BE TO ASK THE PERSON WHO MADE IT WHAT HE CALLED IT. THAT NOT BEING POSSIBLE ALL WE CAN DO IS RELY ON SURMIZE, GUESS AND LOGICAL COMPARISONS WHICH MAY BE ACCURATE OR NOT.
AT ANY RATE THE PERSON WHO MADE IT KNEW HIS BUSINESS AND DID A VERY GOOD JOB. THE REASON I GAVE THE INFORMATION AND ORIGIN ON MY GROUP OF SWORDS IS THE SIMULARITYS IN QUALITY OF WORKMANSHIP AND APPERANT AGE OF THESE EXAMPLES. I HAVE NOT SEEN SIMULAR WORKMANSHIP OF THAT AGE OR QUALITY OR THE STRANGE FORMS OF MORO SWORDS FROM ANY OTHER SOURCE SO CAN ONLY BASE MY CONCLUSIONS ON WHAT I KNOW AND SUSPECT. SO UNTIL WE CAN COME UP WITH ANOTHER EXACT EXAMPLE WITH FULL PROVENANCE THATS THE BEST WE CAN DO.
