Hi Snody,

When I am not completely wrong it's a Samal barong and could be very well from the second half of the 19th century. For Sama or Samal people have a look here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sama-Bajau
The wood they normally use for the handles is banati, can you provide a close up from the handle?

Regards,
Detlef
