Hi,

Well with regards to the scabbard, I'm still in the process of determining if the previous Subanen owner is Kalibugan (converted to Islam), a Christian or of the Evangelical faith. The design of the scabbard must be inspired to what religious sector they belong to. But- a colleage told me that the piece is more inclined
to be of a Kalibugan Subanen - and the design on the hilt/pommel is very close in resemblance to those design found in bolo lumad kampilans and moro kampilans. But it's just an imput. Here are some scabbard designs which I am considering- with Islamic theme. If you have any suggestions as to the scabbard design, they would be highly appreciated


Kind regards and be safe everyone,

Yves
