Indian Self-Defense(?) Oddity

[CourseEight]

Hi all --

I just picked up this item, and I haven't been able to find out any information about it (what is it called if it has a name, etc.) or pictures of any other examples. It doesn't quite have the same sort of blades you would expect from a haladie, but is this considered one? It reminds me a bit of a (double) kubaton, but that's a more modern thing.

I appreciate any knowledge anyone may have!
