A Bingangon from Pinay

Rafngard · 29th November 2016, 02:31 AM

Hello All,

Just snapped a few quick photos of a new toy. I think this is binangon from Pinay. The hilt is carabao horn, with a iron ferrule. The scabbard is wood with a (goat skin?) leather throat, brass fittings, and I think panels on the bottom are shaved carabao horn, which according to the below posts is now a lost art. One has been damaged. I think this might be early 1900s, but this is just a guess. I've done only a light cleaning so far.

Thanks,
Leif
