Show us your kampilan =)

[xasterix]

I think everyone who's into Bangsamoro traditional blades enjoy the shared pictures and posts on the "...show us your barung" topic. I've been browsing for kampilan pics and info on this site, and I noticed there's no repository for kampilans...so I'm starting one =)

By the way it doesn't have to be Maranao/Maguindanao/Iranun kampilan only...Lumad kampilans are also welcome! Dayak ones as well.

To start of, here are my two kamps. One has a munsala but no scabbard, and has a broken jaw. The other is more "complete" in a sense, with a non-breakable scabbard and grills-guard. TIA for your contributions!

Great samples sir Kino! I'm curious about the bottom kampilan. I think it's only the second or third time I've seen that type.

Hi Xas, I don’t believe that it’s BangsaMoro. I haven’t seen others prior to this. Might you have photos of others?

I'll try to dig back on the pics. I saw one for sale on ebay I think either 2018 or 2019. Might be swimming around in Worthpoint

Here are my 3 kampilans:

1. Ivory, silver, and copper/silver alloy with hair. Belonged to Maranao sultan circa 1800 with replacement coin "eyes" and later hilt mounts, and a Maranao cloth mansala.

2. Low silver and silver/copper alloy. Belonged to a datu. Probably Maranao.

3. Wood and 4 bronze bells with hair. Maguindanao.
