It's nice to see this sword retains it's staple guard; too many come without .
One of the jaws seems to have been truncated at some point .
The carving is nice and crisp yet has a good age patina .
The scabbard is always a plus !
Dates on the coins ??

I see it was a hairy example at one point in its life .
The bell is a ceremonial addition possibly ?

Good acquisition .

The coin isn,t a coin , is a a plaque of a lamp maker , "KOSMOS BRENNER", I think is a real kampilan , when I received I put more pictures with details.
Thanks for the comments

She is a beauty, Carlos! A very good find

PS - Dear all: what is the bell for (ceremonial/ symbolic/ and not used during combat I suppose)? Thanks in advance.

Congratulations Carlos!

That's a nice one. I also like both the blade tip and that it has a scabbard, except all the other nice features already brought up.
I had both of them on my watch list but unfortunately for the rest of us (and probably the seller too

) the auction was ended early.

I dont think these examples should be called tiger bells.
The shape and design is not what is should be.
They are nice old bells by the way, nothing wrong with that.
Nice kampilan Carlos !

Here is a link to a website about tiger bells.
