My new Luzon sword

Hello Robert,

thank you. In the Macau exhibition from 2006 this swords are called matulis. Here the shown swords from the exhibition and some more I have found in old threads. But would be nice to get a clarification. And frankly said I have read the term sansibar by similar swords also.
One more observation: All this swords have scabbards from leather. And all three shown examples from the Macau exh. are described as swords from the Katipunan area.
And I really like this swords, only by the first view the look simple.

I think there are more swords of this type out there, please feel free to add them to this thread for comparison. Would be nice to see a other one with wooden sheath.

Regards,

Detlef
