Thanks Ian!
This is really helpful -- it's great to see clear images with a label!!! As you mention - that there are few publications on this stuff -- you can imagine how I have been struggling with this.
In addition to the difference in the blade, it looks like the diety (?) on the hilt is different -- it that right?
also are Binangon and Ginunting the same thing -- just different words ... or are they different types of swords, or from different cultures, or different language, etc.??
Again much thanks. I'll look forward to hearing from you again ... as well as
zelbone and LabanTayo!
All best!
