I'd be leaning towards Leyte. The scabbard itself bears great resemblance with the modern ones from Carigara. I haven't seen (so far) similar scabbards in other parts of Visayas.
If it's indeed from Leyte, then sansibar. But I'm not sure which type, I only know binatanggas, tinamban, tinamban lawis and oyon. |

I got in touch with some 'pandays' in Leyte and they informed me that the blade is not Leyte made. A suggestion was made that this particular blade was made in Western Samar (called a binalhag with a 'talisay'* hilt design). *Talisay- from the word TINALISAY- referring to a 'gray colored rooster with some green'. A fighting cock. Salud, Yves |
