Good day!
I have recently acquired a kampilan and spear, i would like to hear your comments on them. approximate age or ethnic group, location?
The kampilan i have has no "eye", has a metal knuckle guard, has holes for the hair attachment, rattand wrapped, i havent measured the blade. scabbard i dont think is original with the blade, i think it is a later maranao made piece.
the budiak is not long, maybe 4 feet all in all. has brass rings with engraving. it also has a steel bottom tip. with brass adornments also.
i have yet to clean them up, and will post more pics when i do.
thanks
PBH
