Post Your Latest Acquisition here...

The bat head suggests Batangas, as does the blade shape, brass ferrule and small guard. I vote Batangas (Luzon) for this one

.


ian,

yes, that's what i was thinking as well. the scabbard also screams luzon. well, batangueno, lol.

The middle one of the three, with the longer than average punto, might come from the Samal people...

you notice the punto too, huh? the latest one, it does have a short punto. as for the gap, another forumite mentioned that most likely it had a carabao horn ring around it at one time...

as for your latest acquisition, it's a nice one, ian. maybe this link about tagbanuas will be of help:
