Now I understand better the pommel. Maybe copper, but I also wonder if it isn't swaasa! No not necessarily a gunong guard (though the middle is soldered together -
 ). The scabbard end seems to be copper and brass. Testing can tell all the above for sure. I also see traces of a separable ganga - a good sign of the blade being older. |
