Hello,
Sharing my father's barung #1 orf 3. Two were bought without scabbards and hilts. One without a scabbard. He had commissioned a Tausug artisan to make the necessary scabbard/s and hilts. This is the first one I'd love to share. It's the oldest of the 3: Circa- Mid 19th century, Tausug. Hilt (new): banati root wood. With silver ferrule and a junggayan designed pommel. Scabbard(new): made from the favored (so they-Tausug artisan/bladesmith say) johey oak (local: marang) wood. Blade: OAL: 23 inches/ 12.7-inches blade (Note: with chinese character and a stamped mark)- could anyone pls tell me what the Chinese characters mean? Saludos, Yves |
