IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY THE SELLER SAID PANAY I HAVE QUITE A WIDE RANGE OF PHILIPPINE SWORDS AND A SHIELD, SPEAR AND AX SET THAT WERE SAID TO HAVE COME FROM PANAY. I DON'T HAVE A CLUE AS TO WHY SELLERS SAY PANAY AS EVIDENTLY THEY HAVE NO REPUTATION FOR MAKING SWORDS THERE OR DEALING IN THEM IN THE PAST OR NOW. I HAVE NOT SEEN ANY LIKE THE TWO KAMPILIAN SWORDS AGAIN SO PERHAPS VERY FEW WERE MADE.

I HAVE SEEN QUITE A FEW OF THE PIRA AND EVEN HAVE ONE OF THEM SAID TO HAVE COME FROM PANAY. THE ONES I HAVE RANGE FROM WW2 TO PRESENT THE WW2 WERE MOSTLY BRING BACKS SOME EVEN HAVING PANAY WRITTEN OR SCRATCHED ON THEM. PERHAPS ANOTHER MEMBER MAY HAVE SEEN THESE UNUSUAL SWORDS AND CAN GIVE US AN IDEA AS TO WHERE, WHEN AND HOW RARE THEY MIGHT BE. AFTER ALL A ONE OF A KIND TOURIST ITEM IS RARE AND NOT A BAD ITEM TO HAVE IF ITS WELL MADE.
