Interesting thread, Ariel
My wish list would be --
1. the katana of any of the
47 ronin;
2. Magallanes' sword & Lapulapu's kampilan -- I count the pair as one
and
3. Panglima Hassan's kris:
"Panglima Hassan [district commander of Luuk, Sulu, under the Sulu Sultanate; 2nd from left in pic below], was killed in action against the Americans on March 4, 1904 at Bud Bagsak (Mount Bagsak) ...
"In early November 1903, Hassan and about 3,000 to 4,000 warriors besieged the American garrison in Jolo. Armed only with krises (wavy-edged swords) and some old rifles, they bottled up the Americans for a week before being forced to withdraw. Following a battle, Hassan was captured while bathing near his camp at Lake Seit in late November 1903, but he soon escaped. He resumed the war in February 1904 when, together with Datu ('Chief') Laksamana and Datu Usap, they attacked the pro-American Sultan Kiram and his forces in the battle of Pampang. He lost in the battle, and was later killed with his two companions along the crater of Bud Bagsak. Hassan had 17 wounds in his body, but died game, crawling with his kris in his mouth toward the nearest wounded American soldier when the last bullet dispatched him."
