I don't want to rain on anyone's parade .
 The carving is beautiful but the blade is too long for the scabbard . I've never seen a barong that sat so tall in its scabbard .

True it does seem like the sacabbard was made for a smaller barong but still it is still sooo..... sweet just display it out of the scabbard if it bothers you.

Ascalon,
That is the best looking scabbard I've ever seen and the carving of the kakatua is very beautiful. Congratulations on a great find. Thanks for sharing. Quote:
