 So I'll take a piece of the action  Here is a similar but less fancy sword from the same area in the Philippines.Lew Last edited by LOUIEBLADES; 22nd May 2007 at 05:01 AM. |

yup, michael, in the words of the immortal Crocodylus Dundee
That's not a flyssa, THIS is a flyssa  the distinctive zoomorphic brass covered wood grip and brass inlaid and engraved blades are diagnostic. they do seem to come in variable lengths. i even have a curved one.  there are a few SE Asian blades of very much the same shape but with different grips....like the kalasan  still, yours looks like a nice blade, must post better photos when you get it.

Maybe not a flyssa, but I recognize that diamond pattern on the hilt from a lot of North African items so I will wait and see before I pay up. What did I bet anyway, my credibility?
