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? |
