Actually Gustav the datus were the only ones who had the money and status to afford armour.
I will also make the note that in this picture the kampilan does not fit the scabbard and the scabbard was hand painted later. |

Would you call this weapon a kampilan? |

I have a kampilan with a somewhat similar hilt .
The sword in question looks like it is made from wood .  D'you suppose this picture was taken after the implementation of Pershing's General Order #11 ? I don't think it is a scabbard, looks more like a narrow parrying shield to me . The Datu's eyes are downcast . "A picture says a thousand words ." |

Unfortunately covered in water marks but the only copy I could find...
1910, west Kordufan, two mounted men, one in mail and metal helm, the other in quilted armor and with a kaskara. More cavalry in the background. Really evokes the period and the people for me.
