Many thanks for all the suggestions. Just to clarify, I did not end up as the lucky owner. I had hoped to get it as I have an attraction for the forlorn and odd. Plus as a practitioner the blade's form spoke to me, it is appealing. At a minimum I would have made a trainer copy to play with.
And all the additonal links was very interesting reading! It does seem to have many of the aspects of Lumad as well as Bagobo
On the positive, I did receive my new Kampilan today and will be posting pics soon. It is quite a nice piece and I noticed inlays that I had not noticed before.
