Hello Dave,

Quote:
the guard and blade look like a gunong from Mindinao, Philippines
The blade doesn't come close to any Moro gunong (or punal) - especially the narrow waist is more like a very roughly forged spear head.

Only the guard reminds of a gunong; however, it doesn't show any features that are positively Moro and could basically come from anywhere throughout the SEA archipelago (especially given its apparently post-WW2 origin).

Regards,
Kai
