This kampilan is from a just removed auction that i was following. Is a typical kampilan, fortunatelly I copied the pictures before auction was removed.
What are your opinions about this kampilan? Thanks in advance Carlos http://cgi.ebay.es/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...MEWA:IT&ih=006 |

Yes, nice typical kamp - nice to get the textile on it though....

It would be a plus to get it with a Munsala, but this one looks like it was added recently, like 21st century recent. It would be pretty difficult to wield it with the thick cord wrapped around the handle. Nicely carved hilt.

![]() I can't tell if this sword has a staple guard or not; I think I see holes for one. I have a kamp with a similar forging pattern which Cecil Q. dated mid 19thC. The hilt shows much more wear than this example. Older blade, newer hilt? Last edited by Rick; 11th May 2008 at 11:43 PM. |

The seller admitted the wrap/tassal was new in his listing.

I was also following this. Not closely though as I did not catch that it had ended. I think it's a nice KP, course I'm a bit partial to them. Pretty laminations, condition of the handle is a concern, I would expect a little more show of wear. Sends up flags that it is a older blade with a newer handle. I see that a lot.
