Barong question.

Good morning Gentlemen,

A barong recently finished on ebay, and though I didn't bid, I wonder if I can ask a couple of questions?
To me, it appears the real deal, yet the pommel end of the grip is not in the style I am used to seeing.
Can anyone comment on this? (age..source, etc?)
Your overall assesment of the piece would be very constructive, and certainly help to enlighten me as to what is what in these interesting knives.

Thank you in advance.

Richard.
