Guess it could have come from a lot of places. The scabbard struck me as coming from the Visayas, Philippines 1930-50. There used to be a lot of small tribal people all over the PI, but are disappearing at a rapid rate. In Negros, I have met some Mugahat people that live in the mountain areas, they come down only to trade forest items they find, & have almost no standard dress or bolos because it seems they trade for everything. The spike might be usefull for someone who is constantly traveling steep grades.
