The first sword is massive, with a 22" long blade, 3.25" at the widest point and very sharp.I don't think it is very old but not new either; the workmanship on the hilt and scabbard is very nice. I would guess it is status piece, maybe T'boli or Bagabo.
This is made in Tugaya for those traveling for pleasure, sorry!

We've had 2 similar pieces showing up during the last years - a search for Bagobo should turn them up...

Regards,
Kai
