THOUGH I HAVE NEVER FOUND SUCH GOODIES I CAN IMAGINE THE THRILL OF IT, WHAT FUN.

THE SMALLEST PHILIPPINE PIECE IS A DAGGER CALLED A GUNONG PREVIOUSLY CALLED A PUNAL. IT IS ASSOCIATED WITH MORO PEOPLE
THE NEXT SMALLEST WITH A ANGLED BLADE IS A GARAB PREVIOUSLY KNOWN AS A TALIBON,IT IS ASSOCIATED WITH NON MORO GROUPS VISIAN AND CHRISTIAN
YOU HAVE ONE MORO BARONG
AND TWO WAVEY BLADED MORO KRIS SWORDS
THE JAPANESE SWORD WILL EITHER BE A KATANA OR THE SHORTER SWORD WAZASASHI (I MAY NOT HAVE SPELLED IT CORRECTLY?)
