Philippine sword identification

Sajen,

Attached is a pic of an Iloilo (province in Panay) binangon side by side with a tenegre. The tenegre's sheath is covered in carabao horn sheets. The binangon was collected in 1900 in Leon town, Iloilo. That's why I said I thought your sword was circa 1899. You have a very nice old sword.

Detlef,

Here is another reason why I think your binangon is circa 1899. This is the Balantang 1899 binangon from eBay that was posted in another thread.
