Do you know what is called and where is the wood damaged; is there some part of the carving missing?

Why not BARONG?!
I am not very knowledgeable about this but to my eyes this is a barong, albeit the widening of the blade is slightly more pronounced towards the tip than in the classic barongs.

Please compare: First pic. barungs from Spunjer, sec. pic. barungs from Kino, third pic. my own ones, last pic. the sword from Drac2k.  The spine of a barung blade is never straight like by the sword from Drac2k. Regards, Detlef |

Thank you Detlef for the clear and well illustrated explanation.
 Indeed there are enough differences that set this blade apart from the barong family. |
