Moro blades galore: Any gem/s here?

We are still at store no. 3 ...

By the way, the one with MOP in the scabbard was the subject of my earlier query in http://216.219.192.186/vb/showthread.php?t=7349. Nobody has yet commented on what the characters mean ... the blade is supposed to be from a juramentado.

From Wikipedia: Juramentado, in Philippine history, is an archaic term derived from the Spanish word juramentar, meaning one who takes an oath, and refers to a male Moro warrior who attacked and killed targeted Christian police and soldiers, expecting to be killed himself in the attempt.
