Hi Michael your pakayun has found a nice spot on the wall at my home
but now we have to talk about this one you showing

I only see 2 pakayuns with the middle carved and you now this is very old style the one in your hands and mine

Hi Bill the measure is from the brass collar to the end off the handle

The style off the old pakayuns is with long brass collar so are they pictured
in stone's Glossary and on old pics

Never see them with the long wooden handle so that is why this is in mine opinion this is not so old as the other ones with long brass collars

But not easy to date yours Bill scabbard is also without carving so later date
but blade does look like the old ones

But if you ever visit me it is easyer to explain for me
