The second purchase of the weekend.
Lets see if I can be more accurate with this one :D
For obvious reasons the UK does not see as many Philippines items as the States does. This is the first one of these that I have bought, mainly because it is the first one that I have seen for sale at a fair. I suppose that we shouldn't complain as we have more than our fair share of items from many other countries of the old British Empire.
O/A length is 34 ins.
Blade is 18 ins, with a false edge just over half it's length.
Hilt is steel with horn and twisted brass wire.
Unlined, leather scabbard.
All opinions welcome.
Regards
Roy
