Agree with Jose. Looks 100% Sulu Archipelago to me.

Superb barong brother

Did it missing the rattan binding on the scabbard? If so then the 2 pieces of wood for the scabbard glued together or nailed? Just curios here

Thanks.

It is a shame that the top left part of the scabbard was broken off long ago and expertly rounded off.

I believe there used to be rattan that bound the two pieces together. Additionally pitch was also used, I can see it on the seams. No iron nails on this one, although I have seen small wooden pegs/dowels and some iron nails driven thru the pieces on Moro scabbards.
