Gunong...recent or vintage?
Happy (almost( New Year, everyone!
I have some time on my hands to finally post some recent additions to my budding collection. Here is my first gunong. I was attracted to the presence of silver (a jeweler says it is silver, at least). I have looked around, and only have seen one with a similar bone hilt and scabbard. That said, the use of bone for these parts of the knife seems gimmicky, and suggests ethnographic art intended for tourists. However, I shall let the experts here weigh in with their impressions. Thanks! |

Greetings.
I would place this in the 1950s-60s. The pommel and scabbard are made of bone and the mounts look to be brass. Hope this helps. |

I agree with Battara. This looks like a mid-20th C. piece--bone and brass fittings

Agree with Jose and Ian. May I ask how long this dagger is? The fittings will be from silver plated brass.
Best regards, Detlef |
