Whip daggers were also produced by the Luzon and Visaya Filipinos, possibly influenced by the Spanish.

Well, not that, as far as I can tell, the Spaniards had any particular tendency towards putting spikes into whip's handles...

Well, Ham you are completely right saying that is not intended for use by local people. It is a complete tourist piece from the 60'-70', made in syria. It has a verry typical syrian manufactur regarding thoose insertions. My uncle brought back a dozen of thoose from Lebanon at that time as souvenir. Well, another pearl in mr. Tirris book, I guess.

Hmm... as far I can recall yes, they're pretty the same. I will go for a trip to my uncle the next month (he lives quite far away) to take some photos. I recall that one of them, beside the same screw it had a twisted spiral like "blade", mor like a spike. I recall also a lot of similarity in indian and persian axes, bhujs and maces with similar attachments. In the meanwhile, could you please post a pic of such a polish mace? |
