Sharing my Tailbong blade from the Pulahan movement in the Philippines.

The provenance of this blade from the person I got it from was that, it was taken from a dead native man in 1906 in La Paz, Leyte during the Pulahan Campaign.

There is an engraving of a bird, I'm thinking perhaps a Sarimanok (?)

Hilt - 6in
Guard (tip to tip) - 4 3/4in
Blade - 15 15/16
