help with stamp in kampilan-blade!

[kai]

Hello Maurice,

I just came back from a visit of a friend who had a nice kampilan with a stamp in the blade.

Any signs of lamination?

Not too long ago there was a kampilan on offer with LONDON stamped at the base of the blade (I'll try to post a pic). Seems like European companies exported blades close enough to local specifications that these ended up in genuine ethnographic pieces.

Anyone knows anything about the WCCO-mark?

Could the last be 0 (zero) rather than O? From the pic on the other thread, I believe that the middle letters were not O (maybe C, maybe something else...).

Regards,
Kai
