Sorry I missed your reply, Ken. Fascinating article! I am also intrigued by the pike shown. It resembles the common gaff hooks on naval vessels of the time. Thanks for posting it and good luck on identifying your sword. You might want to post it over on the Ethno side of the forum.

I'm not entirely convinced this is Philippine; any more back story on this piece Ken ?
