This is my last adquisition, i think is a unusual sword from Philippines, I hve seen another swords with similar blades but not with this hilt, made of brass. 23 in total length.
I wish enjoy pictures. Any comments are welcome! Thanks carlos |

Almost looks like a Visayan blade with a Moro hilt (copper triangles?). Not being too far away, this cross pollenization probably happens more than we realize (like my Visayan/Moro dagger: www.vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?t=16964 ).
Very nice and unusual piece. Lucky you and congratulations. If you ever want to throw it away let me know (I'll go back behind your trash containers now ![]() |
