Thanks Shelley
I have not seen an older sansibar, just the very recent examples referred to on the web site linked to above. Do you have an older example to show us?
Would you agree that the scabbard on the knife I just acquired can be attributed to Leyte? I have a couple of WWII talibon that are very similar and have "Leyte" marked on them. Ian. |

ian,
i know of an old sansibar for sale, but i cant get the guy to come off his extremly inflated price. i do not know if it would be right to post a pic of it since i do not own it. zel posted a pic of an old sansibar in this thread: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?t=39 its with 2 tenegre's and a panabas. the scabbard of your new toy looks to be from Leyte / Samar, as we all have Talibons with that same scabbard.

Hello Zel and Shelley,
. In late Punong Guro Edgar Sulite’s video “Espada y Daga” in the opening credits, he is seen wielding a sword which I believe is a Sanzibar Sword.??? Sorry if the pics are a bit blurry. Also in the book “Filipino Martial Culture” by Mark Wiley, there is also an action photo of Punong Guro Sulite with the sword doing one of his Laban Laro drills. I hope this help. I really wish you guys the best on your research on these swords. Great information that will be a very much anticipated. |
