Very cool Lew as is your new avitar. Is it your belt mask? Can you provide any information about this picture. The gentlemans knife does look very similar. There is some differences concerning the scabbard but that would not be unusual. A Philippine Island link is mentioned here?

This one also, with the same staining to the blade and lack of rattan to the handle.

 Can you guys tell if this is authentic? The sheath makes me think Paiwan maybe... to my untrained eyes it seems very similar to these Paiwanese sword examples....   however it lacks that large rectangular piece... not sure, it's perhaps a nice looking but old and broken tourist piece, or an actual Aboriginal blade...
