Piso Podang for comments

Apparently, the name Piso Podang stems from the Portugese word for sword " espadao" (pronounced espadan or espadang).
Here is the one that justifies the name: its blade is of European origin, likely from a Spanish or Portugese sword. The pommel is not hollow as usual, and there are small rings at the throat of the scabbard for a baldric. The tip of the scabbard is also strange, at least for me: I've never seen such ... drag? finial?
