Hello Yves,

Nice one!

Would agree with you about the Samal origin. Here is one from my collection but much longer as yours but the style is similar: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...ghlight=barong

For comparison here is my 19th century Samal barong (made of mastodon molar ivory):

The pictures are rather dark and the hilt is hard to see. However, I think both the hilt and scabbard are pre-WWII, perhaps 1920–1940. A clearer picture of the hilt would help.

Hello,

Thanks for the info. Here are additional pictures.

Thanks Yves. Yes, that's what I thought the kakatua probably looked like. I think 1920–1940 should encompass its age.
