Yeah, Ron ..

Anyway, I was wondering about the cohesiveness of the Mindanao and the Sulu Moro groups over the centuries .

I'm somewhat aware of the Iranun role as slavers for Sulu, still; would most blades be exchanged through trade or capture ?

Is this something we can only guess at ?

hah! wait til i post this archaic kris i was working on last night and found out it has a round tang, pepperskull...

IMHO, Rick, i wouldn't say most, but i'm sure there were trades. i'm with you that at this point the most we can do is guess. as far as cato's classification, they're mere guidelines at best.
gotta go to work. will elaborate later...

Thanks Ron for the back up (and for once again showing us some of your toys).

I also agree that these are not hard rules but guidelines given by Cato.

I was with Battara when he was trying to decide about buying this piece. Then, there was a lot of hand wringing debating the decision....now there's a lot of hand clapping!!!

Congrats!

And this is a very apt example for this thread because this is another nice restoration with that entire tail section newly carved and added on to complete this junggayan. A great job there.

yes sir! can't thank you enough for the head's up on this particular piece!!!

You are so welcome Ron and thanks for your and Charles' input when I was getting this piece.

Never thought I would ever get one of these (until I was maybe eighty!

).

As a few of you know I pray over my weaponry, what God wants me to get, and I felt that God was suggesting that I take the risk on this one. God was right (and I listened!

).
