Great tabak Lew, I'm glad that you won this and it will make a great addition to your collection. There was another tabak posted on the forum with the same decoration on the end cap. I believe it might have been posted by Jose. Please post new pictures when you re-wrap the double wire twist into the grip. Really nice to get the original scabbard with it (and in great condition too) as they are almost always missing.

Yes a nice and very period tabak from Pampangas. It is very nearly identical to mine. Nice piece and congrads!

I contacted the 31st infantry Association Historian and I am waiting on a response.
