Kampilan with MOP dots

[kai]

Hello Maurice,

Also the tip doesn't look like 19th c. to me (just a hunch though).

I think it would be interesting to etch the blade...

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.

Can any of the long-time collectors confirm that it really came from Hank's collection? Ben, Michael?

Regards,
Kai

Are you looking at the spikelet?

When I have time I will etch the blade. I'll sent you the pics than, but it will take some time................to be continued

The only thing I know is that the seller told me back than in an email that Hank spankernelli had listed it as a Borneo sword back than. But an affirmative of Ben or Michael is ofcourse more than welcome....(however, I know Michaels opinion already )
