Hi THomas.

I agree with you--this is a mixed cultural item. The blade and guard are from a Visayan tenegre. The guard is old, late 19th/early 20th C perhaps. Is it made from horn or wood? The scabbard and hilt are not Visayan and I'm not sure where they are from. Might well be Batak.

Interesting piece.

Ian
