I agree Dave it is any unusual type of pommel.
All the silver dots are intact though I am a little surprised that the other engravings were not filled in with inlay also. Style preferences I suppose. Thanks Kino for posting these nice pieces from Dave and Lona. Great research. |

The smaller size of the blade seems to indicate a sulu piece, but the handle
looks like it has some Mindanao characteristics. I can't quite exactly place this one...........Dave. |

Jose: I was a little surprised too, that they would bother to cut all those
grooves and not fill them in. Probably couldn't afford any more silver.... Dave |

Jose: Yes, it is surprising that they would go the trouble to cut all those
grooves and then not to fill them in. Probably couldn't afford any more silver.......Dave. |
