W W!

Where do you come up with this stuff!?!?

This is a great piece. To me it looks like the plates are made of swassa (unless it is the lighting on silver)! This kris also looks like a Maguindanao piece to me. Great inlay and metal work!

I agree with your analysis regarding the anting-anting on that mid-20th century scabbard.

Thanks for posting such great pieces!
