Bagobo sword for comment

[Robert]

Hello Detlef, And another very nice sword added to your collection. Would the chains have originally ended with small bells, triangular pieces of brass or other decorative objects as I have seen on other Bagobo swords, or were chains just by themselves used as well? Its still having the original scabbard (and in such nice condition) really helps make this a great catch. My congratulations.

Best,
Robert

Hello Robert,
thank you for your kind words. When I look to the shown Bogabo swords in the first two links in post #5 I think that chains without bells or other adornments has been quite common.
