Yes, Lief. Sundang is a general word for sword in some Visayan dialects.

Ian and Rafngard,

both term are correct although if you ask an ilonggo (Panay native), he or she would be more apt to call it binangon.

yes, early 20th c. as Ian has noted. good catch!

I wouldn't rule out late 19th century.
