How belly dancers saved me money

Hi,
saw this on eBay and originally though it was a Kastane variant..stylised hilt ....similar to European court sword but with 'monster' adornment. The blade has foiliate etching, single fuller and looked euro. However, after e-mailing various questions it came to light that the blade was totally blunt and quite thin.

Then I searched for other examples to verify the authencity of this type of sword.

......and found this........a nice combination women and swords

One of the women is using a remarkably similar sword....the final price wasn't too steep ...for a curio

All comments and info gratefully received, thank you
