Hi Radu
Its a nice punal/gunong but it seems to be mid 20th century to me. The hilt looks like carabao horn to me and not wood? Lew |

Yeah, I'm of the mid 20c crowd. On the money on horn and Tausug gunong. I would also add that it has narra wood scabbard with brass and white metal fittings, althought the ferrule could be silver, but more likely white metal. I believe these turned up after the ban on swords after the last of the Moro wars in 1915.
