Great looking sword before and especially now (thanks to Jose) that the missing bands have been replaced. The more that I look at this the more I think if I were to put a name to it I would say that it could be a "sansibar". Lets see what everyone else thinks on this. Maybe Nonoy Tan or Bangkaya can shed more light on its origin and name. Again my congratulations.
Best, Robert |

Hello Robert,
thank you. In the Macau exhibition from 2006 this swords are called matulis. Here the shown swords from the exhibition and some more I have found in old threads. But would be nice to get a clarification. And frankly said I have read the term sansibar by similar swords also. One more observation: All this swords have scabbards from leather. And all three shown examples from the Macau exh. are described as swords from the Katipunan area. And I really like this swords, only by the first view the look simple.  I think there are more swords of this type out there, please feel free to add them to this thread for comparison. Would be nice to see a other one with wooden sheath.

Today I have received the restored scabbard from Jose, he have done a very good job and I am very pleased with the result.
In the meanwhile the blade has received a polish and etching and show now a beautiful pattern. Proudly I can show you now the restored sword! A big thank to Jose and my friend who has worked at the blade.
