THE WOOD CARVING ON THE SCABBARD IS ESPECIALLY WELL DONE AND WAS INFILLED AT THE TOP AS WELL AS AT THE BOTTOM. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY INFORMATION ON WHERE OR WHEN THIS LIME INFILL WAS USED OR DO THEY RECOGNIZE THE CARVING STYLE OR PATTERN. THE BLADE IS ALL HAND FORGED AND DOSENT HAVE THE SHARP CURVES OF THOSE USING STOCK REMOVAL. IT IS INTERESTING THAT THEY JUST CUT A SIMPLE GROVE INSTEAD OF THE DEEP CUT PATTERN REFERED TO AS A ARROWHEAD THIS DESIGN LOOKS MORE LIKE A PUNAL BLADE. THEY WERE STILL MAKEING GOOD TRADITIONAL FORGED BLADES DURING AND SHORTLY AFTER WW2. THE RED COLOR FABRIC IS OFTEN ASSOCIATED WITH WEAPONS USED DURING THE PHILIPPINE INSURECTION (I WOULD HAVE USED KAPUTHAIN BUT DON'T KNOW HOW TO SPELL IT CORRECTLY SO USE THE OTHER TERM TO AVOID CONFUSION.) I AM JUST GOING FROM MEMORY NOT FROM REFRENCES AND CAN'T VOUCH FOR MY MEMORY MUCH THESE DAYS

NICE SWORD WILL IT SHAVE HAIR?

Hello Vandoo, sorry for my ignorance in philippino history, but could you give some dates for philippino insurection? and against who was the insurection? Spanish?

not a very accurate gauge but will give you a rough draft of the insurrection. in a roundabout way, it's kinda similar to what's going on right now.
