Great samples sir Kino! I'm curious about the bottom kampilan. I think it's only the second or third time I've seen that type.

Hi Xas, I don’t believe that it’s BangsaMoro. I haven’t seen others prior to this. Might you have photos of others?

I'll try to dig back on the pics. I saw one for sale on ebay I think either 2018 or 2019. Might be swimming around in Worthpoint

Here are my 3 kampilans:

1. Ivory, silver, and copper/silver alloy with hair. Belonged to Maranao sultan circa 1800 with replacement coin "eyes" and later hilt mounts, and a Maranao cloth mansala.

2. Low silver and silver/copper alloy. Belonged to a datu. Probably Maranao.

3. Wood and 4 bronze bells with hair. Maguindanao.

I found this Lumad kampilan really aesthetic.
Is it Bagobo? T'boli?

T'boli.

Those are really fine samples! Especially the first one, there's a similar one like it in the PH National Museum.

Thank you. I wish mine had gold on it like the PH National Museum. Still I have only seen these two, unless someone else has an example.

I was very fortunate to get all 3 kampilans.
