Absolutely no idea about the hilt symbolism .
Could be Garuda ....... < shrugs >
One of our members once told me that it resembles an indo military sword ; but There is no consistency in the blades ; mine has a finely forged native blade with very good temper and a hardened edge .
I got mine from a Canadian Seller on Ebay years ago .
Until we know more I think this hilt form will remain a mystery .
