this was said to be a WW2 bringback. im not sure how old it is, or the moro tribe its ascribed to, samal? yakan? is it possible to tell what tribe this particular barong belonged to or when it was made/how old it is? the blade appears to have a (light) pattern in it and is 19 inches long and apparently still very sharp.....some of the wrap on the hilt seems to be missing..
