Do you or anybody else know when/where this type of Moro ferrule, where little balls and wire is soldered to it, was in use? I've also sometimes seen it on kris and I much prefer it to those ferrules with the chiseled okir. Is the type of decoration we see on this gunong (balls + wire) also referred to as okir, or does that only apply to carvings/chiselings?
Congrats in any case Detlef, and hope you show more pics after some TLC.

Hello Thor,
thank you for comment. Have to wait until I have received it but think that the blade will receive an etch with vinegar.
Your question regarding okir I will let for others (Jose???
) since I am unsure about this but think you can call it okir as well.
Will post pictures after I have received it and have given it some care.
Regards,
Detlef
