thank you for the clarification, David!!! You have an excellent point. Not to mention, there are still Moro weapons out there that is still "undiscovered", so yeah, it's pretty hard to say. And yes, you are right about provenance as well.

You might come closer narrowing down the field asking for a "holy grai"l of kris, or kampilan, or barong, etc.

This is exactly what I am trying to figure out. so ok, maybe not THE Holy Grail, but close would be good
Again, on Cato's book, the picture of the Kris and the Barong that were attributed to the sultan or well-off datu, the ones with gold fitting, would be as close to a holy grail in their particular field. Too bad there's no close ups. But being so rare and exquisite looking, I'm sure moro enthusiasts wouldn't mind having any of these pieces in their collection!
hello, indianajones, is that a barong?
