Negrito Double Bladed Walking Stick

thank you Nonoy Tan for your post. I did some research on the Ifugao, and the people do use walking sticks, mostly the elders. I have even found a pic with walking stick that has the carved figure of what I found to be called a Bulul.

I would like to know if you can elaborate on why you say with certainty that this piece is what you says it is

"This piece is one of those type of items that were sold to American soldiers" - Nonoy Tan

because ...... I have found NOTHING like it on the internet. I received an email from the owner of the go to website for all kinds of canes and walking sticks, and he has seen nothing like it.
And to further support this.... That website is thee site that members from I.A.A.U.C.C. go to.( International Association of Antique Umbrella and Cane Collectors )
And you can bet your butt that he has seen it all, except for this one.

Where have you seen this piece before? Do you have any pictures? References of any sort??? Can anybody supply a picture of anything like it?

And if this piece was sold to American Soldiers, why is it that I cant find anything like it on the worldwide web? Wouldn't there be at least a handful of them?

How you have come to this conclusion is very interesting to me, as I have spent many hours trying to find the truest history to this piece as possible.

Is there anybody here that can support their identification of this Filipino Negrito Ifugao Walking Stick?

And if not, please don't post with certainty on what it is without some kind of references.
