A MONSTER HEAD BOWIE

Sajen · 28th August 2015, 08:30 PM

Hallo Barry,

I was one of the bidders but decided to let it go after I had discussed this piece with an other member of this forum. I think that it is a Visayan WWII area dagger. At one of the seller pictures you can see that the handle is from blonde wood and stained black. Most proably is it a very soft wood. I think that it is maybe a early "tourist" piece worked for US soldiers. Still a nice piece and the selling price was a very good one.

Regards,
Detlef
