Unusual kris with shell guard

Please forgive me for what i am about to say Carlos and remember that what is most important about anything you collect is that you like it. But with everybody remarking about the beauty of this piece i simply must state that i find it to be awkward and ugly. This pieces just don't belong together, even if there is another example in the Spanish Army Museum.
I will agree that this is a not a Moro blade and that it certainly is unusual. Michael may well be onto the origin with this kris.
