Presumed Philippine?

Agree. This is a rare sword in very good condition. It is museum worthy but I would discourage trying to persuade a museum in the Philippines to purchase it. Items have a way of "disappearing" from museum inventory and into someone's private collection.

If the owner is wanting to repatriate it it, then I would consider one of our Filipino members in the Philippines if it were mine. As always, any transactions should be conducted via the PM contact system.
