The second one in my collection. I find it unusual that this talibong is engraved and with a date stamp of "1896".

It's a nice one and the first I've seen which is dated at the blade. I've seen them dated on the scabbard before.
Regards, Detlef |

Interesting blade; something about the profile reminds me more of a pinuti- Cebu rather than Leyte/Samar. Also the first time I've seen the date engraved on the blade. |

The blade profile is that of a Cebuano pinuti. But a lovely specimen of an early one. Congrats! |

I agree and it is uncommon to see this type of floral blade engravings (though some even have brass inlay).
