Miguel, thanks.

Kai, because of the carving on the pommel, which I haven't encountered before,
made me think other than Sulu.

Ho brah, it's the carving that really drew me to this. Salamat.

Great Sulu carving.

Usually the Borneo scabbards I have seen are much thicker and larger.

I am leaning toward Sulu.

Congratulations! What great ivory carvings!

Hello Jose,

also the carving on top of the hilt? I understand the thoughts from Albert. The carving don't look Moro to my eyes but I am not an expert.

Great piece Albert, congrats!

As far as I can see, these top carvings are Moro in origin. They may be stylized a little more differently, but they look more Moro me nevertheless.
