Robert, thanks for the note. Please rest assured that on an envy scale, my avid desire to see your fine collection is at least a hundred times more than what you felt

Thanks in advance too, for the proposed posting of humpback sundangs

Migueldiaz, here are a few poor pictures (it has been raining here for the last three days) of some that have the humpback feature that you show in your above pictures. I tried taking these with and without a flash but the ones without the flash you could not even tell what was in the picture. The blades that look shiny are a lot darker than they look in these pictures, especially the one in the last picture. I hope that they will be of some help to you.

I was told by several Filipinos that the bottom 2 are Pampangan.

Just food for thought (or thought for food).

Robert, thanks indeed for the pics!

Carlos, same (feeling) here

Battara, I tend to agree. I also saw a pic (here at EAAF? at eBay?) of a similar old tabak with "Pampanga" inscribed on it. I'll post it here when I find it. Thanks.

Well, it has arrived and I am VERY happy with the condition it is in. These pictures are after putting a little mink oil on the scabbard and a very light cleaning and a little ren wax on the punyal itself.
