What is it?

Further examination (I like looking at this sword) makes me think the end of the hilt may be open, but that may still be an European drip guard. I figure by subtraction that the hilt (probably excluding the lagnet) is about 15 1/2 cm; you never know where the unknowledgeable measure from, but that's about 6" and the grip part seems a bit on the long side for a piso pedang hilt(?). In any event, hopefully we'll know soon. Nice looking sword.
