Silver Long Nose Visayan Taribon

Battara · 24th April 2011, 04:07 AM

Thank you folks. Pleased as punch - never thought I would be able to own one.

Kino - the coins I were able to read are US occupation of the PI, both early and WWII, so I used such coins to match in making the missing ear.

BTW - I must also thank my friend and talented professional jeweler Tim Holbert: he made the base of the upper part of the nose (I carved out the inside so he could have something to go on, then I soldered the beads onto it.)

Awesome! I'll own one of these Taribon swords one of these days.

Just gotta add, most of these Visayan swords with the added metal plates reminds me a lot of Mechagodzilla. HAHA Nice Mechagodzilla sword. hehe
