Here are a couple more examples from my collection. At first glance they look like twins, but the hilts and blades are quite different. One has the 'wafq' and the other does not.

You may also enjoy the old photo with an example of one among Moro blades. This example is attributed to the Moro Sultan of Sulu, which compliments my interest in cross cultural items. Obviously the Sultan thought it held up well in comparisons to pieces form his own culture.

Neither of my examples is the one in the old photo.
