Two Good Bagobo Swords For Records
Here are two nice Bagobo swords for our records. Both have nice examples of textiles and decoration. I believe both are from the 1st third of the 20th century.
Dimensions Sword 1: Overall length 21in. Blade length 15in. Widest point of the blade 1.75in. Sword 2: Overall length: 23.25in. Blade length 16.75in. Widest point of the blade: 1.5in. |

Charles I would agree with your assessment, perhaps just slightly earlier.
The second one once had rings with white hair. |

Beautiful swords Charles ! I bam in agreement with what everyone else has said about them, especially Jose's thoughts about them being possibly being of a slightly earlier origin. Thank you for posting these for our records.
Best, Robert |
