Spunjer,
Just a couple of things I would like to know. What kind of magic wand or divining rod are you using to find these wonderful items and can I borrow it? Another great find and addition to your collection.

Robert

Robert, I suspect Spunjer uses none other than a kampilan. And of course he uses the jaws of the "crocodile" as handles of the "divining rod"

lol, i couldn't believe it when i saw it the first time. the handle threw me off so much that i thought it was indonesian at first. well, for a couple seconds anyways, til reality set it and realized it was a pira. i never seen this variant before. cato, in his book mentioned 'embellished hilt', but without any pics, so, just like Nessie and Bigfoot, where it's claimed they exist, but no clear pics, i reckon posting this beauty is pretty cool proof datu class pira exist.
btw, robert, sorry no magic wand, lol. just being vigilant...
