Another Jungayyan Barong
Here is a another Moro jungayyan barong. I am not sure which tribe, but after conversations with Battara and describing the pommel to him, I suggest Tausug. It seems the pommel's upper and lower portion are at a slightly more elongated and extreme "1 o'clock" and "7 o'clock" positions.
Once the "Moro guys" see it they may have a better or another idea.
The blade is rather standard(in terms of pattern welding) except that it has an upper edge for 2/3s of its length.
The quite simple scabbard is original, but was broken in several spots and has seen some restoration.
