Vandoo, thank you for the informative assessment, and its interesting to learn more on the appearance of brass on these kampilans. If Moro kampilans did not have brass applied regularly, why would a Moro desire it added to a hilt , or use the hilt on a Moro blade? I hope this doesnt sound too elementary, but these weapons are quite outside my regular field, and your post just aroused my interest!
All best regards,
Jim
