Three new talibon enter my collection

Sajen · 27th August 2014, 02:23 PM

I have purchased recently three talibon, I think two are older examples from the first quarter last century, interestingly one is for a lefthand fighter. The third one with missing ferrule have a horn monster handle, here I am unsure about the age, any thoughts? But I am sure that all three are not falling in the category of this WWII area talibons which was sold to US soldiers.
All comments are very welcome!

Here the pictures from the first one, 20,5" complete with a blade from 15".

I think I'll now call nickname you "Tito Garab" (Steve Ferguson is Tito Gunong).

As far as age is concerned, I'm thinking that they are perhaps 1920s-1930s?
