Yes, this one and the one that Migueldiaz pointed out in this link http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?t=10566 are the only ones so far that look as if they were never meant for splitting cocoanuts but heads instead.

I have attached the photos from the Hayes Museum below for convenience.

As I said in my first posting, I "WISH" I could say that I was the winner, but unfortunately I am not

Believe me, if I had won this wonderful piece everyone would know.

Best,

Um........right.........I missed that............

Anyway, I noticed the silver okir inlays into the blade and the bronze okir bands - not seen these in your usual panabas. I was hoping to make the end cap/ring if I got it.
