Xasterix:

You raise an interesting topic that I don't think we have addressed in detail here previously. First, can I ask where you have obtained this information--was it by visiting Palawan, talking with residents there, etc.? Also, how did you arrive at these distinctions for Palawano badung?

Here is one of mine that I have puzzled about for a while. It resembles somewhat the second example that you show. I believe it is late 20th C. manufacture. Note the painted end of the pommel.
