I AGREE WITH RICK AND JOSE PROBABLY POST WW2. I PICKED UP A SIMULAR SWORD NEAR ZAMBOANGA IN THE EARLY 1980'S. SO AT LEAST ITS FROM MINDANAO

THE MOP WORK IS GOOD BUT THEY TOOK SOME SHORTCUTS ON THE WORKMANSHIP OF THE BLADE. I MET THE GUY WHO MADE MINE AND HE DID BETTER WORKMANSHIP ON THE BLADES AND MADE KRIS AND BARONG.
NICE EXAMPLES OF THE TYPE BUT IT IS DIFICULT TO REPLACE THE MISSING MOP IF YOU DON'T LIVE IN ZAMBOANGA.
