Formosa Hill Tribe Swords ( for Yuanzhumin )

For those interested...

this Taiwanese aboriginal blade looks like a single butterfly sword's blade with a typical aboriginal metal socket handle. It is sheathed in the Aboriginal way. I want to say it is from one of the western plains groups, and had a lot of Chinese influence... but I am no expert.

One of freebooter's butterfly swords for reference:
