Large Batangas knife/short sword
4 Attachment(s)
From the Batangas/Lake Taal area of Luzon in the Philippines. The slightly recurved blade measures 14 inches in length and has "JC" stamped within a square just below the hilt. This mark is well known, and stands for "Jesu Christo" (Jesus Christ). It is indicative of the Batangas/Lake Taal region. The hexagonal wooden hilt is marked with transverse grooves on all surfaces, and the pommel is a horse hoof style. There is a very small iron ferrule, narrower in width than the rest of the hilt. The ferrrule and hilt are also consistent with a Batangas/Lake Taal origin. The wooden scabbard is intact although missing some of its rattan strips.
Age is hard to assess. Probably WWII vintage. Overall length in scabbard: 21.25 in. Length of hilt: 6 in. Length of blade: 14 in. Price: USD 225.00 plus shipping and insurance from Australia. PayPal preferred please. . |
Last chance.
Price reduced to $200.00 plus shipping/insurance/tracking. If not sold by 12/7/23 it will be placed on auction at a higher price. |
