You're welcome, Xas!
BTW, could you add a close-up of the base of the blade, please? Regards, Kai |

Nice pattern. They were making pattern welded up into the 1960s. I would place this piece around that time.

Nice example Xas! Very active pattern on the blade. Would you say mid-20th C or a little later? Classic Sulu kalis for that period.

Hello Xas,
Quote:
A pic with plain background would be great whenever you get a chance...  The age estimates seem reasonable - the hilt looks well above average from that period though. I'm not convinced that production of laminated blades stopped throughout the Sulu archipelago - like with the separate katik, I'd guess that traditional production continued in remote areas... Regards, Kai |

Finally made some progress in restoration, got tired of waiting for fine brass brush, and just straightaway sharpened and etched.
