Unusual Moro knife
This one finished recently in an online auction. The knife is fairly small, about 12 inches long overall with a hilt of 6 5/8 in. The blade is double-edged, and a flattened diamond in cross-section. A small thin disc guard is present and the carved horn hilt has a short silver(?) punto. It appears to have some age, perhaps first half of 20th C, but should have a better idea once it arrives.
It looks to me like a variant of a Moro gunong. As always, thoughts and comments are welcome. . |

It kind of looks like a barung and a gunong had a baby. A Ba-nong?
Have fun, Leif |

The pinto is silver according to the hue and patina, and looks Sulu to me. Could this be a Sulu form of gunong?
