Based on other threads ( http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...t=Finger+notch for example) I believe the origin is Luzon, Batangas. Shows some characteristics of Ilokano work? Age probably post-1945? Thanks!
Dimensions: 56 cm overall length, 42 cm by 4+ cm blade. |
Hullo! This is a Laguna-made piece. I have 2 pieces with the same maker's mark and hilt+scabbard, WW2 era. The blade profile is called "sinanbartolome."
