A Bagobo sword

Well, my last question and most important is: is this piece a revolting touristic souvenir

or a recent indigenous sword sold to a western person before it could be heavy used

? Be rude if necessary

Thank you

flavio,

my thinking is, if it's indeed a fairly new piece, it's strictly made for tourists. lumads, or indigenous people, i see over there sport your typical open market bought bolos. these are only in rural areas. plus it's illegal to walk around town with a sword hanging on your waist, lol... my two centimos
