Hello,
Happy New Year to all! My first acquired blade for 2022- a Junggayan Sulu (tausug)barung: 1) possible age/era? The scabbard is newly made (by the former owner)- but I'm thinking of having a new one made that would be more 'fitting' and 'moro-like). kind regards, Yves |
Hi Yves,
It's hard to see the pommel and hilt. Can you show a larger image of the hilt please, without so much shadow? From what is the "ferrule" made? Ian. |

Hello,
Hilt pics. Regards Yves |
Hello Yves.
Thanks for the additional pictures of the hilt which, as you indicated, is a 19th C junggayan form. The usual metal punto seems to have been replaced by a cloth wrap coated with a clear polyurethane or perhaps a two-part isocyanate polymer (such as Araldite(R)) to give it strength and hardness. It appears that the Kakatua pommel was once broken and has been repaired skillfully. |
