Movies and Edged Weapons Pt. 2

A closer look at Dan Chupong's Lord Jarang Character with his Kris Sundang:

Very interesting. The sheath is lovely, and to me has a very Keris Sundang Melayu (as opposed to Mindanao/Moro kris) feel to it. The handle is nice, however the pommel seems little off. Is there any historical precedence for this specific kind of kakatua-like pommel, or should this just be chalked up to movie reproduction being a little less than historically accurate (which in this context wouldn't be a problem as this is a fantasy film anyhow.

)

I'm also trying to get a good screenshot of the blade, which from what I can tell has three waves.
