Page 37 of Cato's book. Photo of a Yakan Barung, there's a step between the hilt and the abbreviated ferrule.

Definitely a yakan barung. I think Silanbeau referred to in the scabbard is Basilan - home of the yakans.

This could be a key indication on the alleged influence of the latter type yakan pira on the evolution of the shandigan barung.
