This was my reward one year for joining the opening gate herd at the Cow Palace in Timonium, stampeding straight to the Oriental Arms booth and not hesitating to immediately pull out the wallet before scanning the rest of the show.
Retaining its old decorated shaft, this budiak weighs in at 1,354 grams (just under 3 pounds) and stretches 2,076 mm (just under 82 inches) in overall length. The neck of this blade tapers into a square before transitioning into a wider round base (see also this post). Comparing with the illustrations in Krieger, particularly plate 6 #12, and weighing way too much on the white metal (German silver) bands on the shaft, would this best be attributed as Bagobo? |
