Actually I bought it also from a Maranao. But what bothers me is the pommel. Moro doesn't have a pommel like these on their swords. I guess it is Visayan then. As you can see on the picture this sword has been used. It once belonged to a "barabgay tanod" in Lanao. A barangay tanod is a local civilian enforcer. The blade on this sword is solidly built and I think it is not made as tourist sword. I guess it is a Visayan sword spiced up with Maranao flavor.
Thanks again guys.
