IT'S ALWAYS GOOD TO SEE VARIATIONS OF FORM ON WEAPONS. WE HAVE SPECULATED THAT SOME POMMELS WERE EITHER DAMMAGED AND MODIFIED TO A DIFFERENT SHAPE OR THAT PERHAPS THE OWNER PREFERRED A NON TRADITIONAL FORM HANDLE FOR FIGHTING
 . THIS FIRST EXAMPLE SHOWS THAT IT WAS DEFINITELY MADE AS WE NOW SEE IT. IF IT IS ORIGINAL TO THE BLADE AND IF ANOTHER FORM OF POMMEL MAY HAVE BEEN PRESENT BEFORE IS NOT POSSIBLE TO KNOW. A NICE EXAMPLE THE SECOND EXAMPLE APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN MADE IN ITS PRESENT FORM BUT IF IT IS ORIGINAL TO THE BLADE OR WHAT A EARLIER HANDLE MAY HAVE LOOKED LIKE IS ALSO UNKNOWN. |

I don't know if they say much more but here are some additional close ups of the hilt.
The blade is also quite nice with triangular brass dots. Michael |

In January 2005 Dan Wilke and I went shopping in Manila's antique district. (I'm the one wearing the jalapeno shirt and in need of barber!)
Dan (the good looking guy) bought this kampilan which had a bulbous pommel that seemed to have been made that way--no evidence of breakage or repair. If there had been a repair it was done a long time ago. The one I'm holding also had an abbreviated hilt but it had been broken and recarved in the past. Here is the thread where it was discussed previously and shows much better pictures: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?t=208 Last edited by Ian; 14th July 2014 at 08:17 PM. |

What a great hilt on Dan's hilt.
It reminds me a bit of this hilt (not as nice but a resembling form). Michael |
