Filipino long sword info requested

AHite,

I have a Philippine sword with a very similar hilt and guard (the blade is completely different though). Because of the hilt and guard similarity, I was wondering if there may have been a roughly standardized insurrection hilt form carried by the fighters of a particular resistance organization. Since my tang is threaded into a nut and yours isn't, I doubt that they represent a type.

Sincerely,
RobT
