I saw this one in a box by an acquaintance in his office. When i asked him what he did with it, he said nothing. Do you want to sell it, i asked him?
Take it and be happy with it he replied. It was a gift and i'm happy with it. Would like to hear your comments. |

More recent Visasyan piece. Nice, especially for free.

Hello Henk,
it's a binangon from Panay. Would guess a late example from the last century. See this thread for comparison: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?t=11550 Still a nice and well worked sword. ![]() Regards, Detlef |

think that your first words about mine!? Agree with you that the one from Henk is a recent one, wood of the handle, leather throat and brass bands look very new. So my guess it is from end of the last century. ![]() Regards, Detlef |

I certainly will Rick.
For the other gentlemen. Thank you for your input. Like Sajen said, a well and nice worked sword although it is recent. |
