Nice find!
It looks like a great sword to fight with. Why Negros? My hunch is Luzon. It's a pity that several of the Filipino blade specialists aren't around on this list anymore.  Michael |

The only reason that I guessed Negros was that another piece I have, with a similar blade shape, was attributed to Negros by other forum members. But I really have no clue.
Thanks, steve Edit: I reread the original thread http://www.vikingsword.com/ubb/Forum1/HTML/002539.html and my memory was faulty about the origin of my other sword. Duh. |

Negros also fought in the PI-American War and I would guess that this piece might have belonged to an officer from Negros.
Nice puppy! |

What else, except the point, indicates Negros?
