unusual philippino sword

[Robert]

Hello Carlos, I've just spent the last couple of days looking through my files trying to locate a photo I have hiding somewhere of the only other example that I have seen (so far anyway) of a sword like the one that you have posted. It has a blade of the same style of your example and also a brass hilt but the hilt is decorated in the manor of Spunjer's example and if memory serves, I believe that it was also attributed to being Bagabo in origin. All I can add to what has already been said about yours is congratulations and add the fact that I am VERY jealous of your good fortune of being able to add this to your collection.
If I can locate the lost photo I will post it here for later reference. I am sure that you will not part with this but just in case, I will be waiting with Jose back behind your trash containers.

Best,
Robert
