I noticed the damage to the hilt.
Didn't think it would command such a pretty penny. Good news indeed.

Not great news for those of us just getting into Visayan blades


Nice piece though.

Amazing how in the last 5 years prices have begun rising a lot. Or maybe that's just my impression. I guess that's good news for those sitting on large collections, and bad news for those who wish they could. But that's how things usually go when prices rise.

Talibong are nice blades... I don't see them making them like that no more

Agree with you Robert, extreme high price! You can buy them much cheaper, see my new thread!!

Have attached the pictures from the ebay auction for later reference!

Wow what a price! Nice piece also. Do you guys think it commanded so much because it was a left hand version?

Lookin at that price, now I don't feel so bad about buying this one.

Thought I almost paid to much, but not near $800.
