Very nice, Albert!
The barung looks classic Tausug to me; and the scabbard carving, too. Also the Narra wood shows the typical pattern while examples from Borneo seem to come with plainer and darker wood. Regards, Kai |

Miguel, thanks.
Kai, because of the carving on the pommel, which I haven't encountered before, made me think other than Sulu. Ho brah, it's the carving that really drew me to this. Salamat. |

Great Sulu carving.
Usually the Borneo scabbards I have seen are much thicker and larger. I am leaning toward Sulu. Congratulations! What great ivory carvings!
