Interesting piece. Not impossible, though not usually seen. They are close to the Moro lands and it is not unknown to have a Visayan hilt with a Moro blade (ex: I have a small tenegre hilt with a Moro gunong blade).

Also your piece does not look "married" to me, but the blade seems to fit into the slot perfectly. They were made together.
I fixed the picture to show what I mean. |

Hello Jose,
can you narrow down the origin of the hilt for either place/group or time? It does seem more roughly carved than most of the antique examples I remember. Regards, Kai |

Hello Carlos,
I'm not convinced that the blade really originates with any Moro group. The tip configuration seems to exhibit slight deviations from the norm and also the blade cross section near the base looks different from antique kampilan. Regards, Kai |
