Mabuhay Rafngard!

Welcome to our little forum!

For the barong, it looks a little older than WWII, although I think it was reinforced with the brass bands in WWII. I would think perhaps 1910s. Could be Samal, but little hard to ascertain for certain depending on age.

Regarding the other bolo, I would agree with you that it looks like a form of Visayan garab or talibon, possibly from the 1930s?

Better pictures would help. Please post them when the pieces come in.

Salamat!
