Odd kampilan

This is wonderful stuff!

Some of the white metal parts on the guard and hilt might be silver, according to the color of the patina.

Yes that's right! When I got the kamp, the patina was black; so I'm guessing it's nickel silver. It has the same patina as those found on sapot talibong; there's a good chance the cladding was also made from melted coins.

What an unusual blade. I think this is the first I’ve seen a kapit blade on a Kampilan. Very nice. Thanks for sharing.

Nice kampilan!! It is a very curious piece. Congratulations on the purchase, I saw it on eBay but unfortunately the seller did not ship outside the United States.
Enjoy it
