Did I get lucky? Grabbed this off eBay(or should I say stole?)...ended at US$100. Not sure why nobody bid on it.
![]() My early Xmas present to myself. haha ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Tada! The 1st Republic symbol on the scabbard. ![]() Is the former owner here on this forum? Thank you very maraming maraming talaga! ![]() Given everything about it screams Visayan along with the 1st Republic symbol...I would like to think it possibly belonged to an officer of Martin Delgados group in Iloilo. Although there were many groups in the Visayan region that supported the 1st Republic...ill research more. What do you all think? Please throw your 2 cents in...I would like to hear them. Thanks! |

Thanks. Id like to replace the end cap..not sure how I would be able to do that though, and then make it match the patina on the brass.

Dimasalang, very nice example. Good condition of the emblem. I saw this but I already have something in the works. Congrats. The mounts are steel, right?
