Thank you folks. Pleased as punch - never thought I would be able to own one.
Kino - the coins I were able to read are US occupation of the PI, both early and WWII, so I used such coins to match in making the missing ear. BTW - I must also thank my friend and talented professional jeweler Tim Holbert: he made the base of the upper part of the nose (I carved out the inside so he could have something to go on, then I soldered the beads onto it.) |

Awesome! I'll own one of these Taribon swords one of these days.
Just gotta add, most of these Visayan swords with the added metal plates reminds me a lot of Mechagodzilla. HAHA Nice Mechagodzilla sword. hehe
