Making more room, again thought I'd bring these here first. Please direct any offers to my PMs. No prices on these, feel free to make an offer on one or all. Please be specific in your messages, many of these look similar.
![]() A) Iraqi jambiya of the southern marshes. Nice plain piece with lovely lines. Carved wood hilt. Blade the tiniest bit loose in the hilt. Vellum covered wooden scabbard has probably shrunk, blade only goes in 1/2 way. Measures approx. 15 inches along the outside curve (38cm) B) Older Filipino bolo type knife. Pre-1900. Blade is quite nice on this, though it has a funny patina, as if slightly chemical-stained. Measures approx. 19 inches overall (48cm) C) Very heavy bolo, well made and beefy, probably 40's-50's? Weighs almost 2lbs. Measures approx. 24 inches long (60cm) D) Nice forward curved bolo, blade stamped "BA". Another mid century piece. Almost shaving sharp. Nice carved scabbard. Measures approx. 17 inches along the outside curve. (44cm) This one feels really nice in the hand. E) Older than the last two, but does have that 20th century looking leather sheath. Similar handle to D, this is also quite smooth in the hand. Measures 16.5 inches (42cm) F) Big igorot spear, Budiak? These are not my area, better they be with you guys. Very well forged and beefy. Measures 16 inches long (40cm) and weighs almost 1lb. G) Another, the fighting form? With two barbs. Very well made and beefy. Measures a bit over 12 inches long (32cm) H) A very large igorot spear head, a ceremonial form? Measures approx. 20 inches long (51cm) I) This is a group consisting of four forged spear butts, a tattered half of a kris scabbard plus fragments, an old carved model of an igorot spear, part of a scabbard chape, a brass spear collar, a damaged horn or turtle shell scabbard decoration, and a nice decorated silver fitting from a scabbard or shield or something. The kris scabbard is about 27 inches long (69cm) |
