Unusual Visayan sword?

Sajen · 14th January 2013, 05:44 PM

Hello Michael,

have bid also and never thought that it went high like this. Why you think that it is from Visayas? The peened through tang let me think that it orginate fom Luzon (Batangas?). And the guard let me think that it was for fighting.

Like you I am curious what it is and from where it is.

Best regards,

Detlef

Hi Detlef,

You are correct.
The reason I wrote Visayas was because I had presuppositions based on the enclosed contemporary Visayan sword.
