I think I'll now call nickname you "Tito Garab" (Steve Ferguson is Tito Gunong).

As far as age is concerned, I'm thinking that they are perhaps 1920s-1930s?

Great score Detlef. Now I know who it was AGAIN winning everything that I was watching.

I agree with Jose on the dating of these, first quarter of the 20th century or there about. I especially like the last one you picked with the carved horn hilt. I was wondering if the missing banding on the end towards the blade would have been braided rattan or a metal collar? Either would probably be an appropriate replacement. Please post more detailed photos of it after it has arrived and you have had a chance to clean it up a bit. Again, congratulations on the newest additions to your ever growing collection.

Best,
Robert

Thank you as well Robert!

And yes, it is the question, was there a collar (and from which material) or braided rattan at the hilt?

Will post some pictures after I have received them!

Regards,
Detlef

I think for "Tito Garab" I still need some more!

I have one real garab (http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...hlight=talibon) and now this three talibon.

And thank you for confirming my age guess!

Best regards,
Detlef
