Barong Dimensions Please

Thanks Kai.
We've been debating (3 FMA practitioners) about barong/barung characteristics. Gleaning info from different sources like Cato's "Moro Swords", different FMA texts (Master Rey Galangs great books, Inosanto, Wiley, Diego/Ricketts), styles (predominantly Bahad Zu'bu/Bakbakan/Ilustrisimo) and online resources we're trying to determine for ourselves what defined a fighting Moro type barong/barung and how it was used.
Is it possible to post the dimensions for the thickness of the spine at the hilt, the widest point of the blade and 2cm from the tip?
