This kind of reminds me of the Indonesian version of the jambiya.

The "okir" at the base almost looks Moro to me.

Yes that scabbard shape like this one seems indicative of Sulu work, and the ukkil of the other scabbard also seems Sulu.

Yours - a Sulu variant? Different tribe in the region?

Xasterix, I will admit that I've seen this type of ukkil before, but I have not been able to attribute it to any Moro group yet. It is unusual though.:confused:

I would agree that the blade is much older than the hilt, which I agree is an early form of junggayan hilt.

I agree with Ian that this is a Maranao manufacture and I agree with his age estimate.

These were picked up later by Maranao and the okir designs would also be Maranao.
