Ethnographic Arms & Armour - View Single Post - Swords from the Pacific brought back after WW2. ID help requested.

Hello. I am new here and thank you for admitting me.

I have two swords that were brought back from the Pacific by my uncle after WW2. He told me that they were taken from the Philippines and I wondering if I could get some help in identifying the type of sword and possibly the origin and estimated time that they date to.

One of them, I believe, is a type of Bolo and the other is a Keris or Kris sword but I am not sure.

Any help will be appreciated.

(I am not sure if the pics are posted here or not. If not, I will try again.)

Thank you!
