Picked up this most excellent Talibon recently. Lovely piece and very robust. Hopefully I can make some time to get it cleaned up in the near future.

Partial cleaning of the blade designs, whatever that white stuff is, it's stubborn.

Hello,
I am a little bit surprised that nobody correct you until now, it's not a talibon but a binangon or tenegre. Age I would guess again around WWII. The lack of patination and the workmanship let me think like this. Look for example my one from the same time frame: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...hlight=visayan Please try to rub away that gunk, would be very interesting what the inscription is. Best regards, Detlef Last edited by Sajen; 28th July 2014 at 02:45 PM. |

Hello Nirghosa,
I have been traveling for the last week and just catching up with your post. Detlef is correct -- this sword is from the western Visayas area and would be called either a tenegre or binangon. The blade is somewhat slimmer than most examples. As to age, the scabbard is consistent with the first half of the 20th C, so the early 1900s attribution on the note attached to the hilt might be correct, but I tend to agree with Detlef that it is probably a little later. Ian. |
