Phillipines short sword ?

Does anyone know what this one is ?

Length is 58 cm with a 43 cm blade

Hilt is wood and brass.

The prongs on the end of the scabbard remind me a little of T'boli but I am not sure.

All help will be appreciated.

Regards

Roy

Looks T'boli to me also. Very nice catch. I need to find something along this line for my own collection.


Best,
Robert

Hello Roy,

good and rare find! :eek: I am with Robert, looks T'boli but have also some Mandaya features (look to the picture) and I am as well looking as well for something similar for my own collection.

Regards,

Detlef

Actually it is classic Bagobo. Sometimes the distal ends of the scabbards can look similar.

The ends are to have brass/bronze in Bagobo style.

Here is a picture of a Bagobo bolo with similar blade and scabbard profiles (from Ashokaarts years ago):
