Modern barong and kampilan?

Well, the carvings are attractive, so i'd say these would make nice wall hangers. But frankly the blade quality doesn't seem to be there and from my perspective it is the blade that draw me to collect this stuff, not necessarily the furniture that accompanies it. We all collect for different purposes, of course, but i think many of us with an interest in Moro weapons are drawn by the history of the conflicts in the region and prefer historically relevant weapons in our collections. I think you will find that often enough a good, honest, but plain old Moro battle sword can still be found for not that much more than these fancy carved wall hangers.
