Classic Talibon Hilt w/Atypical Blade

Xasterix,

You say it’s a really nice sundang. I am happy to agree with you that it is really nice and am glad you like it but could you explain to me why it’s a sundang rather than a talibon. I was basing my ID on the hilt but, if it’s an entirely different piece altogether, then my question as to whether or not it had a ferrule has to be based on what it actually is and whether sundangs always had ferrules (hopefully they didn’t because I would prefer not to have to make one…especially a rattan one).

Sincerely,
RobT
