Not too be picky, Detlef, but it's spelled Katmon . I'm well aware it's a common motif among Visayan blades, but to see something strikingly similar on a sundang indigenous to Basilan is what intrigues me...
Imas, is it possible to get a close up of that decoration? |

Great pira Imas569, I hope you don't mind my posting this blow-up of the design on the hilt. I had already done this to get a better look at it (because of my aging vision) before Spunjer requested one.
Best, Robert |

Hello all,
photos of the design. There is a small hole between the design and the end of the hilt. An indication of age would be greatly appreciated. thanks |
