Yeah, just a bit. With the large supply of them, the great variety, and the relatively low price (particularly in comparison to moro and Indonesian items, which I also love), I'm loving the hell out of talibons.
Have fun, Leif |

Oh yes, PI weaponry rules!!!!! (my unbiased opinion
![]() I might place these more from the 1940s. That bigger one certainly has a unique design, doesn't it? So far, it would seem different dialects/groups in the Visayas use the different names like tailbon and garab, and perhaps others......... |

I don't think you can see it in these pics, but the longest one has a face on the hilt. I'll see if I can get a pic of it. It looks a bit like something from a children's cartoon show.
Have fun, Leif |

Here's a couple of pics (from the seller) where I've edited (and in some cases drawn on) them to show the face on the longer blade. It's ridiculously cute.
No idea if this is original. Given the Eagle on the scabbard, I do wonder if this an older blade refitted to sell to GIs |
