As I said, the handle reminds me of the mythical hongsa swan, see picture.

An interesting thought, I'm eager to see some more pictures of it when you have received it!

Finally I have received it and maybe I have to revise my mind of the origin and have to agree with Peter.

Have cleaned the blade on one side, here are some first pictures. There are some chips at the handle the seller don't mentioned, on the other hand, it was not apparent from the seller's pictures that the handle is open worked.

Could it be an unknown and until now not described Aceh blade?
