Panabas

I ran some hot water over it to see if there was a pattern I didn't see evidence of laminations. I'll have to clean it further and etch it with a stronger solution.

That is one monster of a panabas. A new addition or something you just brought out to tease the rest of us with.

I want one !!!

Best,
Robert

Spunjer, Is this the one you are referring to? I wish that I could say that it was mine, but I cannot.

Best,
Robert

thanks robert! yup, that one... those carving style somewhat reminds me of barber poles, neat looking. i kinda wonder if it is indicative of a particular region...

Yeah I wish there was more information on these regionally. I'm like you wondering about what the regional differences are.........

Robert - A new addition, got it on Easter Sunday. I went to a Flea Market to look at an Indian sword and saw this in a glass case.

Spunjer - A Moke would have no problems handling it but to a Moro... well the seller told me it's attributed to a Moro named Gul-ayat

It's a hair over 1/2 thick at the ricasso.

Charles - Thanks, I was really surprised when I saw it. I didn't want to show my excitement to the seller and kept talking to him about the Indian sword.
