PM for spanish sources on Visayan kris and kampilan blades

[ShazamsLaw]

It is apparent after reading some sources that the visayans weren't alien to using weapons outside of farmers tools such as the bolo or talibong. I've realized that some artifacts reported to be used by Visayans such as armor does not exist today due to possibly being lost to time or have to be revealed.

Prior to the Laguna Copperplate Inscription for example, historians viewed the pre-Philippines to be culturally isolated from the rest of Asia, as no evident pre-Hispanic written records were found at the time.
I'd imagine with the lack of current physical artifacts on Visayan forged kampilans and kris, the same is believed?
