I remember reading that one of them more commonly had the bells or beads on the end of the hilt. The other group more commonly has no beads/bells. But for the life of me I cannot remember if it is T'boli or Bagobo that has which. Someone here will know maybe Ian will see this soon. Both I think can have scabbards like this.

Also I am not sure if this would be a kampilan or a bangkung. Where Paolo's link fits the kampilan form better.

A T'boli sword in the HOS catelogue can be seen here
