Thank you for your info kai. The seller told me the age would probably be late 19th century/early 20th century. So you are probably right about the age.

The seller told me also this kampilan would come from Borneo. The seller bought it from late Hank Spankernelli, who told him it would be from Borneo................................... [duck and cover... ][/QUOTE]
