![]() Thanks Wayne. Spanish rather than "Spanish Colonial" makes sense. Again there is a passing resemblance to northern Luzon in the hoof style of the hilt, but not typical. |

![]() Thanks Xas. I've refrained from commenting on this one because I did not think it was Filipino in origin, and more likely western in manufacture (no idea where exactly). :shrug: Several elements... |

![]() In post 20 above there is an interesting figure on the reverse side of the hilt to the one with the two peri. Does anyone know what that figure is representing? |
