Another Moro Bangkung Variation

CharlesS · 4th June 2017, 12:06 AM

Here is a nice smaller bangkung that I picked up recently. I believe it is pre-WW2, but from the looks of it and the temper lines, I think it was never meant as a weapon, but as a utility chopper. I especially like the chiseling at the end of the blade.

Scabbard rattan and hilt cording are restored.

Comments welcome.

Dimensions:
Overall length: 23in.
Blade length: 16.25in.
Widest point of the blade: 2.5in.
