Thanks for digging up that old thread of mine CCUAL. I was just going to go looking for it. Someone posted either photos or a link to photos of a workshop where similar high quality modern Moro weapon were being made, but i haven't been able to find that again. As i stated in the thread you link to here there is one particular seller on eBay who shall remain unmentioned who has been an outlet for modern Moro pieces, including kris and barongs. He never sells them as antiques, but does little to inform people that they are new either. Frankly, i am really pleased to see people still putting this level of craft into these traditional weapons as long as they are not misrepresented as antique or old.
