My first Kampilan

Hi Steve,

beautiful Kamp!

I was one of the low online bidders on this one. I love the reddish wood with the nice grain.
Congrats to your first Kampilan, I am curious to see the blade etched. Do you plan to give him back his eyes? See here: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...light=kampilan

Regards,

Detlef

NOW YOU ARE AN EXTREME MORO COLLECTOR!!

YOU HAVE JUMPED FROM THE SMALLEST MORO BLADES TO THE LARGEST.
CONGRADULATIONS, LOOKS LIKE A VERY NICE OLD ONE, I ESPECIALLY LIKE THE WOOD AND PIERCED TIP.

Looks like an excellent example in a nice stat of condition....congrats!

Was going to bid on this but had to work. Lucky for both of us as I don't think I have the money right now!

Congrats on a great piece. It really is beautiful, Steve

Nice honest piece - congratulations. I agree with Sajen that the silver disk eyes are the only things missing. Otherwise complete (sans scabbard).

Congrats again....and apologies....you could have saved a few more dollars if I had realized I was bidding against you sooner. If I had known you were interested in it earlier I never would have bid at all, but you still got it for a darn good price.

The piece is far better in person than the pics indicate. It is one of the heaviest examples I have ever handled, with very crisp carving.

Nice pick up!
