Hello Alexis,

Not at all, I'm afraid! There is a vague similarity in some details and way off in many others, sorry...

If you want a Moro scabbard, you really need to reach out to Bangsamoro craftsmen (and skilled ones are not easy to find). While the Philippines have their share of gruesome fantasy fittings and pieces, there are some pieces coming out of Mindanao which have reasonable, newly made fittings. An ebay search for Davao should turn up something, I guess.

You can also contact forumites Jose Albovias or Philip Tom who have done quite a few scabbards from scratch for nekkid blades.

With both approaches it will get more expensive the more you insist on a traditional high-quality dress, obviously.

Regards,
Kai
