![]() Interesting sword...too bad there isn't a scabbard to help identify its origin. To me it looks like a terciada blade mounted in a Tagakaolo (or possibly B'laan) kakatua hilt. Regards, Bangkaya |

![]() Nirghosa, I have no doubt about your Maranao attribution to your barung. It is that fabulous okir carving on the scabbard that gives it away. Maranao okir has a distinct look very similar to Sulu... |
