Old tenegre

[Sajen]

This tengere just ended by ebay, unfortunately I am not the winner so I hope someone from the forum is the happy winner! It was mislabeled so I was a little bit surprised that it went high like this.

I think that it is a late 1900th century example so I want to post the pictures for your enjoy and later reference.

And would be nice to read if I was correct by my guess.

Hi Detlef,

You are correct in both your guesses

Michael

PS But it did not go as high as I expected and I think it's a binangon, not a tenegre.

Hi Michael,

congrats, yes my bid was low since I hoped that not so many collectors see it! Please post better pictures when you have received it. I am not sure about tenegre/binangon, see for example here: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...hlight=tenegre

Best regards,

Hi Detlef,

I think your beauty is a Binangon too (according to the classification in the good old days when we had more Visayan researchers here).
The hilt probably depicts Bakunawa (a local version of the Naga, a sea monster that swallows the moon now and then) as a response to the discussion in the other thread.

Hi Michael,

first thank you for the respond about the Bakunawa in the other thread and the compliment about my one.

I ever have referred my binangon and tenegre with help from this thread: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...light=binangon, see post # 24.

But however described your sword, it is as well a beauty!

Thanks for the link, now I am confused?
If Ron, Nacho or someone else from the Visayas please could explain the difference between the two terms?
