It's nice to see this sword retains it's staple guard; too many come without .
One of the jaws seems to have been truncated at some point .
The carving is nice and crisp yet has a good age patina .
The scabbard is always a plus !
Dates on the coins ??

I see it was a hairy example at one point in its life .
The bell is a ceremonial addition possibly ?

Good acquisition .

The coin isn,t a coin , is a a plaque of a lamp maker , "KOSMOS BRENNER", I think is a real kampilan , when I received I put more pictures with details.
Thanks for the comments

I have no doubt it's a real kampilan either Carlos .

Very nice puppy (woof

), I especially like the tiger bell.

Rare to get these with bells.

Were you able to buy this Kampilan? I was watching it as well but the seller took the auction down. Were you able to buy it?

The seller also had another Kampilan w/ Tiger Bells that they took down.
