Like Bill's huge Panabas, this is also a published piece.

Thanks Kino. your pictures are very helpful. I assume that you mean that this is in Cato's book (besides looking familiar). These closeup pictures are wonderful. Maraming Salamat.

BTW - what is the "28" about?

Way sapayan, B.

Yes it's in Cato' book & in Arts of Asia magazine.

I don't know what the "28" means. I noticed it when I was cleaning the blade.

Let me know if you have problems in securing the whale bone. I know of someone that deals in Ivory (marine, elephant, fossil), and others of related
nature.

Nice catch on the Kamp.

Very nice. Beyond nice! Excellent! If you ever want an air-condtioned, humidity controlled environment to store the barongs, please let me know! Top dollar!

Is the MP-5 selective fire?

WOW! Are those loaded with HYDRASHOCKS!

Ya got a FA kit for that SP? It's useless w/o one. Contact my homies from Carson if you need one

I never know what will catch my eye when I go to the giant flea market over in Brimfield, MA. Earlier this month, I brought this home. I do know what it is, now, at least generically. I'll pop in a link to a site about these things later, but solicit any opinions first.

Bill M · 6th December 2006, 01:47 PM

Blade is 14" OAL 18" Ganja is not separate. Laminated blade.

Full sized kris for comparison.

Comments?

Bill M · 6th December 2006, 02:14 PM

I think this is a Kuba Ikula. Open to comments about age and authenticity.

14" overall.

Battara · 6th December 2006, 08:16 PM

I know that African is not my specialty, but Bill what you have is a nice puppy - the copper Kuba knives are scarcer and I believe are ceremonial to be used by nobility. I like it.

Robert · 6th December 2006, 08:24 PM

I'm the same, I know very little about these but I know what I like and I like this a lot!! Great blade.

Robert

Tim Simmons · 6th December 2006, 09:07 PM

Very nice Bill totally genuine perhaps 1930-40. This is my latest African find. Ball staff, diameter 4.5cm, shown next to a light knobkerrie.

Bill M · 7th December 2006, 01:08 AM

Thanks for the kind words on the Kuba gents. Hope that some of the African collectors will comment.

Anything about the little kris?
