Jose, that is a really neat Lantaka! You even got the wooden arm! BIG congrats!

I would not go more than a light charge IF you fire it at all and certainly not any kind of projectile!

Looks awesome, and somehow familiar! Fire it???!!...not while I'm around. I hate rattan splinters.

Congrats on a lovely, and true, conversation piece.

Many thanks friends!

No plans to light - want to keep the "big bang" to a theory.


Vandoo - the Moro lantaka is nearly 1/2 the length overall an more elaborate with okir. This one is plainer. What is nice is both have been fired and are correct, not fakes.

I wanted to bring this thread back up again because I am having problems determining if this is Brunei/Borneo or Moro.

Any help would be of benefit.
