Spear Head Help Needed

Montino and Charles,
Thanks for your input on the spear head. Now if someone could just tell me who made it. I was thinking that the scabbard could possible date from the very end of the 19th century up to about WWII. I don't think it is any newer than that, but what do I know.

Scabbard looks to be from the Eastern Visayas (Leyte, Samar, Cebu) -- mid-20th C. or thereabouts from its appearance.

Ian.

Ian,
Thanks for the info. Could possibly you offer any insight on the origins of the spear head?
