I hope that I am right with the soldering theory as well. In the drawing of the Nigrito warrior you posted the top of the sheath seems to show something similar to the fur on your example wrapped around its throat as well.

Yes, it looks also to my eyes that he seems to have something similar around the scabbard from his sword. Sadly I can't see clearly the hilt form. The other man has a complete different sword. Regards, Detlef |

Sorry for the poor quality of the photo, but this I believe is the source of the material used as a ferrule on this sword.

It seems to me that to be large enough to be used as a ferrule that it would most like be from either a 16 or 12 gauge shotshell.

I want to show the examples which were shown before here in other threads to have a overview from this rare sword type.
At first a picture from the book "Philippines, Early Collections, Museum of Ethnologie Vienna" shown once from Indianajones. |
