I found this on the web today. Lucien G Berry was indeed stationed in Southern Luzon.

It really cleaned up nice. I can't believe the scabbard looks that good now. Great job !!

Very nice piece!
I wasn't aware there were older pieces that used kamagong as hilt material. A bit of a revelation for me. Thanks for sharing, Lew! |

I guess it was whatever the local bladesmith had on hand at that time. It probably came from a small village shop . The blade does seem less refined than the others of that period in time. I take it that Southern Luzon was more rural than the other parts of that area. I will research it and get back to guys
