I HAVE ONE OF THESE PIRA WITH THE FANCY HORN HANDLE I BOUGHT MINE AROUND 10 YEARS AGO FROM A SELLER IN PANAY. I LIKED THE WORK DONE ON THE HORN HANDLE AND THE SCABBARD THE BLADE WAS A LITTLE THIN BUT WAS WELL MADE TOO. I DON'T KNOW WHERE THESE WERE BEING MADE AND HAVE NOT SEEN ANY FOR SALE FOR QUITE A FEW YEARS NOW BUT I DO LIKE MINE.
ONCE AGAIN A NICE REPRESENTATION OF INTERESTING VARIATIONS OF PHILIPPINE FORMS AS WELL AS A FEW OTHER COUNTRIES. I AM ASSUMING THESE ARE ALL LIKELY MADE AFTER WW2 SO IT IS A GOOD COLLECTION REPRESENTING THAT PERIOD. THE USE OF EDGED WEAPONS HAS CHANGED IN THE SOCIETY BUT STILL HAS A PLACE IN TRADITION, CEREMONY AND TRADE/COMERCE TODAY. SO WE DO NEED TO SEE THESE NEWER VARIATIONS AS WELL AS THE OLD PERIOD PIECES. 100 YEARS FROM NOW THESE POST WW2 ITEMS WILL BE CONSIDERED OLD.
