Gunongs haven't been well represented in my Moro collection as dagger importation here in New Zealand requires a bit of paperwork and clearance from the police and customs. However, I came across some ivory-hilt gunongs from Ebay and I decided to go for them. The pictures are from the seller (I am still waiting for the last pair of ivory gunongs from NZ customs. I will post a group pic once I get them). Comments are most welcome. Thanks.

Ah, so that's where those ended up. I had made a few (probably way too low) offers to the seller and got nowhere.
This child's gunong, with "french ivory" came from the same seller. I suspect they all came from the same place. http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?t=24831 Thanks, Leif |

Yup Leif, they all came from the same seller. They were all initially grossly overpriced especially the gunong pair. I kept an eye on them as they were offered over and over in a gradually decreasing price until I found a reasonable price range and went for it. An ivory-hilt danganan kris was also offered by the same seller in the same batch but someone got to it first. The same kris was offered again by another seller recently but at more than 3 x the original selling price.
