Pls. help ID a Panabas!!!!
Won this off ebay recently. I'm aware that it is a Moro Panabas, but I'm clueless about it's origin (tribe) and it's proper use. Do Moro warrior's carry this sword in battle dispited of it's heavy weight?
Here's the link: http://s133.photobucket.com/albums/q...4ft%20%20long/ Weapon's dimensions Over all length: 47" Blade: 22" Thickness of blade: 9/16" Width accross: 7" Handle length: 25" Handle Circumference: 7" Weight: 9 1/2 lbs Thanks kindly, panday.2006@yahoo.com Last edited by panday; 16th February 2007 at 03:20 AM.

 Can't help you with the tribal information, but as to its use, given how much larger and heavier it seems to be over the average example I've seen I'd guess it to be an executioner's weapon as opposed to a battlefield or ceremonial piece. |

Ouch! I don't know about that Spunjer. I've seen a few Pangtuli-tuli Panabas in Mandawe.They were a bit smaller than the dimensions Panday stated. I remember a few Pisot's walking towards the guy with the Panabas.

Kino, according to Cato the Angel of Death Panabas "Malkalmaut" claimed over a thousand heads, now it puzzles me, I wonder how many Pisot's did mine claimed? Man, that's ritual..... Last edited by panday; 16th February 2007 at 11:01 PM. Reason: . |
