A Bangkung with a Shandigan Blade

I have a late 19th-early 20th C. panabas with a shandigan blade, although not as prominent a feature as on the two swords shown here. It is the only example I have seen on panabas.

Very nice pair of swords, kino, and blade styles are similar enough that it does make you think they were possibly made by the same smith.

Kino:

No new pictures for a few weeks -- I'm traveling in India and the Philippines until later this month. There are some older pictures that sort of show the blade profile, but I will try to get better ones when I return.
