I would say yes. I need to go back to my research, but for now I am inclined to say that the banded "bamboo" looking ferrule sleeve is more Sulu. Bulbs at the top and bottom of the sleeve would be Maranao as far as I can tell. The picture has Maranao textiles with it.
BTW - great spear - with silver no less......
Ron - great pictures, especially of the datus with the kids holding the kris and kampilan. Thanks again
