Two new additions to the Luzon collection

Detlef,

In looking at the pictures copied from an earlier post, I notice that items 1 and 7 are listed as coming from Quezon. Both have interesting treatments at forte. No. 1 has a brass overlay on to the blade that extends from the guard. No. 7 has file work at forte that includes transverse lines and a chevron.

Now look at the forte on your first post in this thread. It too has an extension of the guard down on to the forte of the blade, showing transverse lines and a chevron. It appears to combine the features seen on knives 1 and 7 from the previous topic. Quezon influence on the one posted at top of this thread?

It is VERY hard to distinguish local characteristics on Luzon knives.

Regards,

Ian.
