Yes, it looks also to my eyes that he seems to have something similar around the scabbard from his sword. Sadly I can't see clearly the hilt form. The other man has a complete different sword.

Sorry for the poor quality of the photo, but this I believe is the source of the material used as a ferrule on this sword.

Thank you Robert! A small-shot cartridge?

It seems to me that to be large enough to be used as a ferrule that it would most like be from either a 16 or 12 gauge shotshell.

I want to show the examples which were shown before here in other threads to have a overview from this rare sword type.
At first a picture from the book "Philippines, Early Collections, Museum of Ethnologie Vienna" shown once from Indianajones.
