enlarging the picture on my personal file, it appears to be one of those open face scabbards. i'll do some editing with the lighting later on to get a better pic

Spunger:
Thanks for the photo. I enlarged it a bit and applied a central axis line over the blade. This kampilan appears to be a typical Type I although I cannot see the handle to determine if it has a "saddle." The scabbard appears to be an edge guard that does not completely cover the blade, but just the sharpened edge and the tip. I have a similar guard for an old panabas that is tied on with strips of cloth. This one might be tied on with twine. Ian. |

This example, with an interesting pommel type I haven't seen before, was posted by our own good forum moderator Rick, about 12 years ago. I am posting only two pics, but hope Rick will join the conversation and upload others. This seems to be a Type III, Ian. It certainly has a saddle. Also wondering whether anyone has ever nailed down where this form is from?
