2. Low silver and silver/copper alloy. Belonged to a datu. Probably Maranao.

3. Wood and 4 bronze bells with hair. Maguindanao.

Those are really fine samples! Especially the first one, there's a similar one like it in the PH National Museum.

Thank you. I wish mine had gold on it like the PH National Museum. Still I have only seen these two, unless someone else has an example.

I was very fortunate to get all 3 kampilans.

Hello,

Here is my second Kampilan, unfortunately it's only a blade (engraved) without handle.

However your blade has nice Maranao okir.

That last sample - kampinegre - is a wonderful Frakenstein of a blade!
