Kampilan with MOP dots

[kai]

Hello Maurice,

I also thought that the guard normally is more to the middle of the crosspiece....However than I studied some pics and I found some guards at the position where the MOP is at mine.

Ok, there is some variation; I still have a hard time to see this as a 19th c. piece...

Heck, it's weird enough to be from Borneo... [duck and cover... ]

Let me know when you need more or better pics than I will make them tomorrow.

A close-up of the tip without shadows would be great - thanks!

Regards,
Kai
