Are you sure about Séverin? It's not like one of the parrot-hilted sewars you may have in mind, look at the details.
I've found only one piece online, seems to be sold online.
The other one I've found is by "The Batak" from A. Sibeth, see picture. I've seen in the last twenty years not many of this sort.
It's not one like in the last picture.
But you may have more luck as I am.
