Talibong, Real Or Tourist

[Robert]

Here is a small talibong that I found. The scabbard is in pieces at the moment and being glued back together so I didn't include any pictures of it but will post them later if this is not just a tourist item. Maybe this was made for a child or maybe to be used in the preparation of food? The blade is very well made and is 1/4 inch thick at the hilt, very sharp and has nice decorations on the ricasso. Sorry about the pictures. They were taken inside with a flash as we have over 18 inches of snow and it is around 15 degrees outside. All comments and thoughts on this are welcomed.
