I agree Ian. I think Zonneveld makes it clear that such swords may belong to to Sulu and other Philippine regions, but leaves open the possibility of Indonesian use as well, most especially in Borneo. Of course that leaves open the aforementioned queston...were the influences 'from' or 'to' Borneo??It's just shame that there are no absolutes that identify the location of origin.

Thanks for all the input everyone!!
