Chillanum for comment
As usual, i found another odd one a very small Chillanum or Khapwa perhaps.
This one is a scant 9 inches overall. The pommel was perhaps bent out to
acomodate a growing hand? While all steel it is comprised of three separate
pieces. The hilt is split, the blade inserted and then the guard was swedged on.
The larger one is all steel but in two pieces.
There are bits of baby blue paint or enamel no the blade and elsewhere amongst
the pits and rust. any information will be helpful. Thanks, Steve
