Hello,
Here is my only Kampilan, which I think is vintage but not old.
I bought it on a bad photo so I hadn't seen some repair (Fortunately it was not very expensive). Bad photos often lead to good deals, but this time the I lost the bet.

It lacks the sinuous iron bar which serves to hold the bells and coin (here replaced by a brass wire) and a missing part of the guard has been replaced by pine wood with an attempt to continue the missing engravings (I think that the repair was made in France).

The thickness of the blade at the base is 4mm and it is 2mm at the end.
