Here's another bangkung, I am guessing from Maguindanao, based on the hilt style. It almost looks Visayan but for the grip ferrules and corded wrap. The blade is pattern welded. The scabbard is original and simply held together by only wooden pegs. There was never any rattan.
Dimensions:
Overall length: 27in.
Blade length: 20.5in.
Blade's widest point: 1.75in.
