Adding some photos of Sardinian weapons being carried/worn. These are mostly photos of people wearing the iconic Sardinian leppa but a few are photos of people holding the unique Sardinian style of miquelet musket. Most of these I found on Pinterest, while some were found on Russian sites comparing Sardinian swords to Shashkas. I tried to find the highest quality versions of these photos that I could, but some of these photos are still a bit poor in that regard.

I see a piso podang and some interesting spears; not to mention some badiks.
Also the figure on the left seems to have an absurdly large pedang or parang; would love to see what kind of blade is in that scabbard. |

Came across this depiction of Baboa people wearing their traditional short swords or knives on an ethnographic arms dealer's site.

Changdao, the Aeta people are very short. Men were commonly under five feet tall, but with improved nutrition their average height has increased a few inches since the early 1900s. They are still among the smallest demographic groups in the Philippines.

I have a heavy duty Indian spear here of similar length. I've often thought it was Mughal heavy cavalry, perhaps even Sri Lankan in origin as there are similarities to a very long old Sri Lankan lance here, however, I remain uncertain as the large one does not have the taper and POB like the one in the images. Thanks again for sharing! |
