Minature Moro Kris?

I agree with Kino, the hilt is large and out of proportion for the rest of this kris. It seems more likely that it has been shortened at some point.
I also wonder at the likelihood of creating a kris blade for a child in post WWII Philippines.

Actually I have seen such examples and pictures of boys with little kris, even little gunongs.

Maybe is it a cut down kris..............I guess I over looked the measurements.
