WOW

Now THAT is a Kampilan and then some.

What else can I say, absolutely beautiful. Jealous does not even start to describe what I feel about looking at this.

Best,
Robert

WOW!!! What a great looking Kampilan. First time for me in seeing a silver one. Years ago I was offered a copper clad Kamp, regrettably I didn't have the money back then to buy it.
Congrats on a very nice find...

I think this is the first one of these I have seen, and what a piece! I really like the detail to the silver and the way the parts have been individually crafted and come together so nicely. With the quality of the blade combined it seems most certainly a 19th century piece.

Gorgeous piece...and great karma that you found it after such recent collector's heartbreak.

Congrats!

Congrats!

I join the earlier cheering crowd.
It's the first silver kampilan I have seen, too, and it's a gorgeous piece.

Beautiful kampy, jose! a very rare piece that you don't see too often (only one other, and a partially silver covered handle). i just love the braided silver wire handle on this. i would put this type up there with the ivory and whalebone handle. congrats on acquiring this!!!

Hello Jose,

only can repeat what the others have written already and i think that you have had the fortune to add it to your collection is a sign that there is a little bit justice in the world.

Regards,

Detlef
