Another Civil War Knife Sold On Ebay

I was told by several Filipinos that the bottom 2 are Pampangan.

Just food for thought (or thought for food).

Robert, thanks indeed for the pics!

Carlos, same (feeling) here

Battara, I tend to agree. I also saw a pic (here at EAAF? at eBay?) of a similar old tabak with "Pampanga" inscribed on it. I'll post it here when I find it. Thanks.

Well, it has arrived and I am VERY happy with the condition it is in. These pictures are after putting a little mink oil on the scabbard and a very light cleaning and a little ren wax on the punyal itself.

Hello Robert,

very nice addition to your interesting collection!

Regards,

Detlef

Its ugly. Doesn't complement your collection well enough...I think you should sell it. I'll gladly get rid of it for you...I'll even pay shipping.

The piece is absolutely complete - no restoration needed!

Migueldiaz, Detlef and Jose, Thank you all for your kind words and complements on this punyal and my collection. Sometimes I get lucky and find something nice like this but it seems anymore that it is getting harder and harder to find them. As Jose said this one is complete and needs no restoration work at all.

Dimasalang, I know it's pretty ugly but I have already put it on the wall with its brothers, so being lazy I will have to keep it where it is as I haven't the energy to take it back down.

Thank you though for your very kind offer to take it off my hands.

Robert
