Wow! I'm sending out vibes for examples, and "boom!" someone posts a big ol' fancy nice matulis-like talibesque

Thanks. Teardrop guard and everybody.
Now, I'm picturing a woman. In her hand is a suitcase.......go, go, magic Genie

Usually this particular pommel is thought of as a (very stylized

) naga, I think? But check those big, fairly explicit ears. No ferule? Does the guard by any chance form a ferule, ala kampilan? Ie does the handle socket into a mortice in the guard?

Oh no, but it's the Visayan sideways teardrop, that gives a protective effect somewhat like an annoe. Will I start waiting for all the pictures one day? Maybe, but they can be awful slow, and sometimes I don't even know if they're finished or not........
