I was just reading some interesing old Dutch articles (written in 1854 and one in 1869) of the pirates around Borneo and also about the inhabitans in the coastal area's of British north Borneo.

About the British North Borneo coastal area's the article is highlighting the following tribes: The "Ilanons or Lanons", the "Solokkers" (as the Dutch apperently named the people from Sulu), the "Badjo's" (they call themselves people of Sama: Orang Sama), and the "Idaans or Doesoens".
About the Bajo's the article is telling that they were very numerous, and were certainly no friends of the lesser numbers of Ilanons. But also with their large numbers, they feared the Ilanons and were not able to confront the fierce Ilanons.

Also I read about the arms of the Badjo's.
They were armed with a lance, a shield and a sword.
Does anybody know what sword they carried? A kampilan?

Thanks in advance,
Maurice
