Great Bangkung Spunjer, the okir work on the scabbard is especially nice.

When I saw this is, it reminded me of piece from Palawan that Ian posted:

I'm curious about the cross section - is there a step or change in plane at the fuller?

Spunjer · 29th November 2010, 02:08 PM

t_c, i believe it's a similar type. btw, there is a step on the fuller..

Thanks Spunjer - I was asking about the fuller/cross-section because it is something I have seen on just a few blades (one of which I used to own). I was thinking this "step" to the back edge might be a specific to a region, but so far I really don't know...

Old Bangkung/Bolo(?) with what I believe might be a similar cross section:

How much you asking!?

That is one sword that just screams awesomeness!

Good point, t_c. But then again, between this one, your ex, ian's example, the one that was on ebay about a month ago, and another one that i sold a few months back, we could be looking at a whole new genre of moro weapon previuosly unknown.
Dimasalang: thanks, bro!

Good point about Palawan - I forgot about that.

Here is another bangkung for reference. The blade is fairly typical, but the hilt style, especially the pommel, is unique.

The scabbard is new and is based on a historical model.
