Great looking Bowie's Lew. The decorative end caps are some of the nicest I've seen. Did you win the first one? If you did nice catch.

Regards,
Robert

Yes and got on the cheap due to mis labeling it as an african dagger

I remember this one, you have shown it before in a other thread. And agree that the handle is very similar so I think you are correct that it is from Pampangan.
