IT is more of an Indonesian or early Sulu flavor in the hilt metal work, doesn't it! The blade is without doubt Maranao.

Could this blade be an offshoot of the Javanese Karno Tinanding dapur/form ?

^ Most likely. I wonder if anyone on these boards has another example. Never seen a Moro piece with the double trunk.

CORRECTION: I looked closer at the blade and it is not Moro at all but Indonesian. Need new glasses...............
Still as Charles says, a little detail changes a lot - nice Indonesian clamps. |
