Nice one Maurice, I haven't seen it with a guard before.
Here is mine which resembles the one Miguel posted.
I have had it for several years but still not been able to figure
out from where it is.
I agree that it looks Filipino in several ways but the elephant trunk
makes me suspect it to be Sumatran. But then the rest of the blade form
is maybe more like the North Peninsular Malay klewang?
The hilt, without the rest of the blade features, could be Moluccan.
My guess is still Sumatra or Malaysia but I do hope somebody solves
this riddle.

PS A hint? I found mine in Holland. I assume Maurice did too? And where was the one Miguel posted found?
