Hello Rich,

Bagobo tribe and maybe others around, Mindanao, Philippines. I think that my ones shown in up are from the first quarter of the 20th century.

Ok Rich, this is tough, but I'll give it a shot:

Sajen is right - they are all from the Bagobo tribe on Mindanao Island, Philippines.

Age - 1st, 2nd, and last are from early 20th century (like Sajen said), the 3rd and 4th are probably from the late 20th century.

Is the knife in the first two images posted by Barry in post #6 a sangi? Looks like a completely different knife to me in blade form, hilt and dress style as well as size.

Have to agree, seems to be a complete different knife IMHO.

I think and believe that the brass one from my collection is old like the both other ones, the wooden core inside the scabbard and some other hints let me think like this. But by metal it's difficult to give a reliable expertise opinion and of course I can be wrong.
