Wow, Maurice, where did you dig up this stunner? Thanks a lot for posting pics!
I realize that you tried to avoid reflections but do you got any pic of the gangya area taken at a right angle? What is the approximate length of the blade? Any hints that the silver ferrule might be a bit later relacement?
At the moment, I'm not leaning towards a Lumad origin: the gangya work seems pretty much Moro to me...
Regards,
Kai
