2 Philippine swords for identification

drac2k · 13th December 2015, 10:06 PM

I'm not quite sure what I have. The first sword is massive, with a 22" long blade, 3.25" at the widest point and very sharp.I don't think it is very old but not new either; the workmanship on the hilt and scabbard is very nice. I would guess it is status piece, maybe T'boli or Bagabo. I am at a loss for the second unless it could be Igorot ; it is very sharp and the blade measures approx. 18" long.
Any help would be appreciated.
