Moro kampilan (?) Spanish American war era

[Battara]

I would place this piece (original) with the dragon head as Visayan, who made other examples like this.

Traditional ginunting from Panay, the scabbard shape is also the same with those from Iloilo. The hilt is bakunawa form.

Though I wouldn't fault it if sometimes they get confused with blades from other parts of the Philippines because such profile also exists elsewhere.

So if I understand, my example in post #6 is Visayan?
I presume you guys are referring to Andrews example. While not trying to derail the thread, I thought perhaps in discussion as a comparison it might add perspective.

Hi Jim,

I think that your example is from Luzon.
