These marks look like stamps, spring stamps?

Daniel,
It's not my field but it looks to me as a nice talibon. Like Kai said in the thread of the Barong to etch it, I would think to do it with this one too. This blade could also be laminated. I'm sure the more knowledgeable members will jump in. |

I am not pretending to have any knowledge of these weapons, but it seems to me that the barely visible markings look European. Old re-formed blade? If this is the case, would you still expect it to be laminated? |

I don't think so if the blade is European. I thought to see something on one of the pictures. But as I said, this is not my field. |

I would be surprised if it were laminiated - this looks like it is spring mono-steel. Nice hilt carving for WWII - I do agree that it is probably WWII. Even if it were older, not all talibon were laminated.

Gentlemen,
Thank you for your interest  Battara, Thanks for the ID. I am happy to hear it is a genuine WWII piece. I certainly hpoe to acquire some more examples from the Philippines. I like the diversity. Best regards, Daniel |

You are very welcome. That is one reason I like Philippine stuff - the diversity (and the fact that I am part Filipino
 ).
