Checked Stone, p.249 (fig. 306)
This appears to possibly be a form of golok, a heavy chopping weapon used in Malayan countries, and with its size and shape, possibly Mindanao. I look forward to observations from the members who collect in this field.

I would like to see better closer pictures of the hilt and blade before even hazarding a guess . I think Jim is on the right track but we need more detailed pictures .
