I HAVEN'T SEEN A BAGABO OR TIBOLI KAMPILIAN BEFORE BUT THAT WOULD BE MY GUESS BASED ON THE BRASS WORK. THEIR SWORDS ARE SIMULAR TO A A MORO KAMPILIAN IN FORM BUT OF A SMALLER SIZE AND USUALLY HAVE BRASSWORK ON THE HANDLES FROM SOLID BRASS TO BRASS AND WOOD HANDLES. THERE ARE 2 FOR SALE ON THE SWAP FORUM TO LOOK AT AND YOU CAN FIND MORE INFO BY SEARCHING TIBOLI AND BAGOBO.

THE QUESTION IS DID A MORO COMISSION A BRASS GAURD FOR HIS KAMPILIAN OR WAS IT CAPTURED AND THE NEW GAURD PUT ON THE BLADE?
A VERY INTERESTING ITEM SHOWING GOOD AGE, FROM WHAT I CAN TELL FROM A PICTURE. CONGRADULATIONS
