I've gathered this is a T'boli sword, but I have no idea if such swords have become the domain of tourism, and/or how old these generally are. Obviously the pictures are poor and I can post clearer when the item arrives, but only if it has a chance of being legitimate. Hopefully someone can help! --Radleigh |

Hi Radleigh:
Yes, it is a T'boli sword, but not an old one. These are still being made and have become somewhat of a tourist item. They are fairly common to find in Davao City and Manila. You got it for a very good price, even by local sandards, as these now sell for $100+ in Manila. Ian. |
