Old tenegre

Hi Detlef,

You are correct in both your guesses

Michael

PS But it did not go as high as I expected and I think it's a binangon, not a tenegre.

Hi Michael,

congrats, yes my bid was low since I hoped that not so many collectors see it!

Please post better pictures when you have received it. I am not sure about tenegre/binangon, see for example here: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...hlight=tenegre

Best regards,

Detlef

Hi Detlef,

I think your beauty is a Binangon too (according to the classification in the good old days when we had more Visayan researchers here).
The hilt probably depicts Bakunawa (a local version of the Naga, a sea monster that swallows the moon now and then) as a response to the discussion in the other thread.

Hi Michael,

first thank you for the respond about the Bakunawa in the other thread and the compliment about my one.

I ever have referred my binangon and tenegre with help from this thread: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...light=binangon, see post # 24.

But however described your sword, it is as well a beauty!

Regards,

Detlef

Thanks for the link, now I am confused?
If Ron, Nacho or someone else from the Visayas please could explain the difference between the two terms?

Agree, a clarification of the terms would be great!

Hi there, has anyone else wondered what the material is of those thin bands around the lower end of the scabbard?!? Horn, turtleshell, else?
Greets
