A POSSIBLE ORIGIN FOR THE IDEA OF THIS SWORD WOULD BE THE KORA. THEY OCCUR IN NEPAL AND INDIA AND I HAVE SEEN SOME VARIATIONS WITH THREE POINTS AT THE WIDE TIP. THE MOVIE SWORD HAS A STRAIGHT BLADE AND THE POINTS ARE MUCH LARGER AND MORE PROMENENT. IT DOSEN'T LOOK LIKE MUCH WORK WENT INTO MAKEING IT PROBABLY A FLAT PIECE OF ALUMINUM ROUGHLY CUT AND SHAPED. I COULD NOT SEE THE GRIP BUT IT WAS PROBABLY VERY SIMPLE AND CRUDE ALSO. THE INFORMATION ON THE KORA CAN BE FOUND ON PAGE 373 OF STONES GLOSSARY.
