looks russian to me
The symbols look like an attempt to render the Cyrillic letters T over P in a semi-cursive form.

Very nice barong!
 And a good cleaning job like others mentioned before.  But I would try to polish the blade a little bit more. What you use to reattach the handle? Regards, Detlef |

sorry to have responded so late, i used 2part epoxy to reattach the handle to the hilt (might be sacrilege to some?). i will try to polish the blade a bit more in the future when time allows. PBH |

Not really when you have given the epoxy the correct colour. The blade shows a very nice pattern, worth to invest some time and elbow grease!  Regards, Detlef |

What is nice about epoxy is that if something else happens to the piece, with heat you can remove the hilt (though more heat than traditional pitch).
