NICE SELECTION OF KAMPILIAN VARIATIONS.

THE QUESTION IS
1.DID A MORO PUT THE BRASS HANDLE OF THE ENEMY ON A KAMP. BLADE OR 2.DID A NON MORO PUT THE HANDLE ON THE KAMP. BLADE? I SUSPECT CHOICE 2.
HERE ARE A COUPLE OF VARIATIONS
1. DESCRIBED AS A LUZON KAMPILIAN WITH HORN HANDLE AND STEEL GAURD, BRASS FERULE AND POMEL NUT.THE BLADE AND HANDLE GOES TOGETHER AND DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE A RECENT COMBINATION LIKE SOME, HORN SHOWS GOOD AGE AND USE. KAMPILIAN BLADE DIFFERENT FROM MORO WORKMANSHIP.
2. WOOD HANDLE AND GAURD OF THE MORE COMMON FORM WITH A BLADE WITH WAVES FORGED INTO IT AND DESIGN CUT INTO BLADE.

Those are really nice; I especially like the kampilan that starts off in a serpentine style and then straightens out! Any history on the items, or is that lost as it usually is ?
