I am hoping some of the 'Moro guys' can help me in specifically determining the name of the blade style. It is not very common, but I am rather positive I remember its style from the old Weapons of MoroLand display plaques......can anyone help?
I got this one from the UK, and was very skeptical of it...wondering if it was, indeed, Moro...until I got my hands on it. Once in hand it became clear that the blade is classic Moro construction. It is very heavy, cleaver-like, and very well forged. There is little doubt it has legitimate age and was likely "born together" with the hilt. The scabbard is newly made...and I love it....by forumite Philip Tom. It was created with a little artistic license combining barong and pira styles....since I cannot find any info or old pics of a scabbard style for this one. Dimensions: 22.5in. overall; 14.5in. blade; 2in.= blade's widest point; just over 1/4in.= blade's thickest point. Help with proper name identification and comments are welcome.
