She is a beauty, Carlos! A very good find

PS - Dear all: what is the bell for (ceremonial/ symbolic/ and not used during combat I suppose)? Thanks in advance.

Congratulations Carlos!

That's a nice one. I also like both the blade tip and that it has a scabbard, except all the other nice features already brought up.
I had both of them on my watch list but unfortunately for the rest of us (and probably the seller too

) the auction was ended early.

it's a a tiger bell???

I dont think these examples should be called tiger bells.
The shape and design is not what is should be.
They are nice old bells by the way, nothing wrong with that.
Nice kampilan Carlos !

Here is a link to a website about tiger bells.
