ANTIQUE WW2 OR OLDER PHILIPPINE WOODEN HANDLE TALIBONG KNIFE IN WOODEN SCABBARD For Sale -

THIS IS ANOTHER ITEM I AM SELLING FROM MY BROTHER\'S COLLECTION. IT IS A HANDMADETALIBONG BROUGHT HOME BY MY FATHER WHO WAS IN THE MERCHANT MARINES IN WW2. TO THE BEST OF OUR MEMORY OF MY DAD\'S STORIES, IT WAS COLLECTED IN THE.PHILIPPINES. IT\'S COMPLETE LENGTH IS 18 1/4\". JUST THE KNIFE IS 17 1/2\" AND THE BLADE ALONE IS 13\".IT DOES HAVE MINOR FLAWS PROPORTIONATE TO ITS AGE. UP NEAR THE TOP OF THE SCABBARD IS AN OLD REPAIR OF A CRACK.THERE IS SOME RUST, BUT HARDLY ANY TO SPEAK OF...JUST MENTIONING IT.THE VERY TIP OF THE BLADE IS SQUARED OFF, AND THERE IS SOME DAMAGE/MISSING WOOD AT THE POINT WHERE THE BLADE ENTERS THE SCABBARD. ALSO, ALONG THE SEAM WHERE THE TWO PIECES OF THE SCABBARD WERE JOINED, SOME OF THE ORIGINALSEALING MATERIAL IS MISSING, AND YOU CAN PEAK IN AT THE BLADE THROUGH THE SEAM AREA. NOT BAD LOOKING. WHEN SLIDING THE BLADE IN, SOMETIMES IT HANGS UP, SO THERE MUST BE A ROUGH AREA INSIDE THAT THE BLADE CAN CATCH ON. VERY NICE, RARE,PRIMITIVE HAND CARVED, HAND MADE KRISS FROM A BYE GONE ERA. PLEASE EXAMINE WITH YOUR ENLARGING TOOL, AND FEEL FREE TO ASK QUESTIONS. I WILL SEE IF MY BROTHER CANANSER THEM FOR YOU.
