Do you see this as a possible Malay influence?

Hello Charles,
I don't know, but I have never have seen it on moro kris scabbards (I handled and I have got in my computerdatabase).
It seems that the malay sundang have such tip but than made of horn, and more round. Maybe they tried to copy this by paint, as they had seen it with Malay sundangs?
But the moro's always amaze me with their swords. They all look the same and also different....that's why I like them...
