Swords and Spear Heads

Battara · 15th February 2011, 11:00 PM

Well, I hate to tell you, but these are Moro pieces from the southern Philippines, and I would guess from Mindanao. In any case they are not from Ilocos Norte. They even seem to be later than 1909, more like the 1920s. You have 2 Moro (Maguindanao tribe?) kris swords and 2 spearheads.

Is it possible that he stayed a while there after the Moro-American Wars? Is it even possible that the source was incorrect on the attribution of who they belonged to?
