Hi Gonzalo, if you mean the "loops" at the side of the wood guard it's just a bar of iron bended to be an additional guard. I don't remember where but I see also pictures of kampilans that show on both sides iron guards (maybe one of these kamps is in the collection of one of our members)

Hi Flavio, thank you very much for the data. You are righ, the loops are only on the guard, I made a mistake. Interesting construction. I am not familiar with this weapons, though I like them. I hope you enjoy this nice finding.
Regards Gonzalo |

Nice Flavio .
Are you going to carry on with the over wrap, or just leave it as it is ?
