Here one which was sold not so long ago by ebay. I believe that this one is from the same time frame.

not quite the same blade style, but the scabbard is identical. instead of leather chaff like yours, the one on mine is brass.

Yes Ron your mounts on this one are brass. Ron's is a great example and rare - the horn is albino carabao horn!
There were a lot of these blades made for GIs, but this one is nice. |

here’s a similar Binangon that I have. this was identified by a blademaker in Cabatuan, Iloilo, Philippines.. the hilt and the use of carabao or cow bone on the handle is similar to the work of his grand uncle he said.
