Weapons of Moroland plaque

I believe this example, framed under glass perhaps to deter young hands, dates to the Vietnam War era. An inscription on the back is faded, but this appears to have been sent by a serviceman in the Philippines to his parents in Massachusetts.

These plaques are really good. Sadly the quality of modern moro plaques cannot match the old ones. The photo I posted is the best one I got. No one makes good quality weapons of moroland plaques here in Mindanao anymore.

I was told that the earliest plaques were actually made in Baguio (and not Mindanao), that's why a lot of profiles are inaccurate / mislabeled / fantasy made. Eventually though, other areas (including Mindanao) picked up the plaque-making as people realized it was marketable as a tourist attraction
