"Bagobo Golok"?

VVV · 22nd April 2006, 10:39 AM

Back home again and recieved this eBay sword that probably some of you recognise?
It resembles the Bagobo Golok pictured in Stone p. 249, except missing the large cast brass piece on the handle.
Searching old forum threads it also resembles the Mandaya/Manobo swords that Ian and Rick has posted.

The seller, who is a member of this forum, wasn't convinced that the scabbard matched the sword.
But I find some of the patterns on the blade similar to those on the scabbard? And the blade fits the scabbard.

Look forward to all comments.
