I'd say a local thing made for sale in the market.

IMVHO it looks like a recent Maranao creation partly inspired by a Barong (aimed at a market frequented by travellers rather than Tausug folks
 ). The handguard and the inlaid dots seem to be common give-aways.

I agree with kai. Probably recent Maranao work. There may also be some Visayan influence reflected in the guard and suspension system for the scabbard.

What about this one ?
I know far too little to make any comment on this piece, but what about this one : http://cgi.benl.ebay.be/ws/eBayISAPI...MEWN%3AIT&rd=1
It's Moro and apparently a keris blade. Freddy |
