Well, this is Maranao, mid to late 1800s, and perhaps ceremonial. Well preserved. Once had an iron or brass/bronze guard.

Battara, I realize that discerning the features of a kampilan can be tricky ... i.e., for a beginner like moi ![]() Yet on the other hand for somebody who's been at this for some time ... i.e., yourself ![]() Would you mind further sharing your thoughts on how the kampilan may have truly been a Maranao piece? Thanks in advance! ![]() |

Ok, well, here are 2 things that tell me it is Maranao:
a) the style of okir used is Maranao b) the type of pommel form is Maranao (as opposed to that used in Borneo) |
