BARUNG REBIRTH 2
Hello,
1) scabbard: evenly-rounded, lentil-like cross section;
2) it is very much possible to have these carvers do any design (before the 20th century, etc). Just send some pics and they will do their best. That's where I got the designs for the 3 barungs. ha ha ha
Options:
a) you can send the picture/s- and they will make the the hilt (and scabbard). If you cannot send the barung, kris,etc. you can trace it in a white cardboard and send it to me;
b) or you can send the entire sword to my place in Manila and I will forward it to them in Jolo.
Notes:
sending of blades from an international origin to Manila is not a problem(in my experience). Sending them back might be a challenge (although I have seen other bladesmiths here sending them thru DHL to the US). But I haven't tried it yet.
Let me know. I'd love to assist in making your swords complete.
Saludos,
Yves
