A Pedang for ID

The face on the hilt looks pretty much like the face of Garuda carving that I have.

Ah, now I understand!

No, not one of my pedang hilts show this feature. And I agree, it seems to be Garuda. Very nice!

A pedang with a very similar blade and a Garuda on the pommel.

Thank you Rick for your example!
Probably, the pommel on this type of Pedang swords always represents a Garuda? Just in most cases it is not so obvious.
