Hi
I can see the Philippine influence in the link alright.
Spanish Armada was 1588, so I guess that rules out direct Spanish link
I am going to send images to the 1798 museum and see if they can shed any light on hand made swords from that period
I may never find out though and yes Rick I wish we could link it to the famous irish pirate
Would anyone hazard a guess on age of the sword
Your time spent commenting is much appreciated
Regards
Ken
