Three Interesting Filipino Bangkungs

Thanks for your input, guys! Outside of the odd reptile skin grips, these all seem to have a basically Filipino structure to me...that being either Moro or Visayan. Two have Moro style ferrules, though one of those has a cloth wrap for grip hiding its ferrule. The other has a bolster that looks Visayan to me.

I agree Charles: the one with a guard - the guard and ferrule both are Visayan. Not too shocking though since Mindanao Moros (Maranao, Maguindanao) live at the bottom of the Visayas.
