budjak mindanao
Hello,
Sharing this wonderful budjak/bangkaw. A heirloom piece handed down from a patriarch of a family. This came from a Moro family in Mindanao- but I'm not quite that sure if this is Sulu or Maranao. Appreciate your thoughts. Description: steel spearhead, brass collar with original spearhead sheath OAL: 80 inches/ blade (excluding the brass collar): 14 inches Shaft: kamagong wood Kind regards, Yves |

Hi Yves,
Seems to be a very old one. Is the tip of the blade broken? And are you going to clean and etch the blade? Regards, Detlef |

This might be Sulu based on the segmented sleeve section.

Hello,
I thought it has a broken tip. But upon closer inspection, it's not. The previous owner confirms that it has the original 'point' . Cleaning and etching is considered. :-) Kind regards, Yves
