Show us your Maguindanao panabas

I believe there are a couple of examples in the archives - some in the now defunct UBB forum though. Certainly not common but usually similar to decor on kampilan.

Nice examples so far gentlemen!
Here are my both examples, both are padsumbalin panabas, one big and a small one. The big one I don't have at hand but will receive it soon back with cleaned blade.

And I have this small one but only the blade, the handle which comes with it isn't the original one, it's a small one as well.

Here’s a couple more to add.

Here is a picture of my padsumbalin panabas that was documented in Cato and was stolen years ago from me. The bands are nickel-silver.

Here is my current padsumbalin panabas with steel bands and okir butt.

And here is my bading panabas with okir edge. Bands in copper with a silver strip around the end.

Sajen, what are the dimensions of your Panabas with the blue background?
