Congratulations on this piece. The blade at least is Maguindanao and older. The scabbard is later WWII. Need to see close ups of the hilt, but the pommel is made of banati (burled) wood of some kind. Shame the scabbard is damaged, that MOP is lovely.
Yes, I am turning into a Moro manic, special when I get the pieces by this prices.
My guess that it is a Sulu kris was founded by the horse hoof pommel since Cato write that this is typical for Sulu.
That the sheat is from WWII was clear.
