In my post #10, I showed the hilt of a briquet hilt, morphed into a composite 'espada ancha' with addition of three bar cavalry hilt and notably shortened Spanish M1728 dragoon blade. In the colonies of New Spain in the rugged frontera of North Mexico, repurposing of everything, weapons included, was of course common.
This seems to compare in kind with this briquet example shown from Bali, using a blade from other sword, shortened for wear or use more in the effect of a hanger.
Attached shows blade of the example I showed in post #10 , clearly a shortened dragoon blade.
