The kris looks Maranao with an anting-anting cloth. Nice to have the attribution and history.

The wavy little knife next to is looks like a gunong. Any close ups of that? Mounts on it and the scabbard look like tarnished silver.

The other knife puzzles me, it could be Northern Luzon, but not seen one like this before. Leather scabbard goes to a Northern Luzon sword. Knife hiit looks to be horn and then brass mounts.


Also, the kris looks like it was cleaned (I see light sand paper scratch marks).

Hope this is a start and thank you for posting this. Please post any other goodies.....
