I HAVE TWO MORO WEAPONS PLACKS BUT THEY ARE WW2 ONE DATED 1946 AND OF LOW QUALITY, THEY ONLY HAVE 8 SWORDS PER PLACK. THE CLOSEST TO YOURS IS CALLED A UTAK. PERHAPS THERE IS AN OLD POST WITH PICTURES OF SOME OF THE OLDER PLACKS WITH STEEL BLADES AND BONE OR HORN HANDLES. I WOULD TRUST THE NAMES AND CONFIGURATION OF THE WEAPONS MORE ON THOSE THAN ON ONES LIKE MINE WITH ALUMINUM BLADES AND WOOD HANDLES. I SEE MANY INACCURACYS ON BOTH OF MY PLACKS AND WOULD NOT RECOGNIZE WHAT THEY REFER TO FOUR TIMES AS A CAMPILIAN WHICH DOSEN'T LOOK ANYTHING LIKE A REAL ONE, OR THEIR BANGKON WHICH ALSO IS FAR OFF FROM REALITY AND THE SPELLING IS ALSO NOT WHAT WE USE. ONE OF THE PLACKS IN CATOS BOOK IS OF THE OLD STYLE WITH BONE HANDLES AND STEEL BLADES THE ONE MOST LIKE YOURS IN BLADE SHAPE IS IDENTIFIED AS A LA--- UNFORTUNATELY I CAN'T READ IT WITH MY BEST MAGNIFING GLASS, THE HANDLE IS DIFFERENT FROM YOURS ALSO.
