My gunong collection and some thoughts

Sajen · 19th September 2014, 11:39 PM

An other early gunong is still by Jose, will post similar pictures when I have it in my hands. Pieces I will purchase in future will be shown here as well. I think that this thread can give an overview of the development of this intersting daggers but I am aware that not all forms and ages are shown.

Shall we call you Tito Gunong Jr.? (Steve Ferguson would be Tito Gunong Sr.)

So many beautiful and functional gunong! I am very pleased to see this fine pictures and hope they will become a reference for others. The mother-of-pearl hilt is especially wonderful.

Best,

Dave A.

Very nice pieces. They are addictive, aren't they?

Thank you for sharing them with us.

Hello Steve (Tito Gunong),

very addictive, I am afraid that I am hooked on them already.

A beautiful collection Detlef. When you receive the restored Gunong from Robert, it would be great to see a group photograph.

Thank you Russel,

Jose has restored the other gunong, just for clarification.

Thank you as well Dave. Hope that it will be a little help for others to place their own pieces!

Hello Jose,

this would be to much honor!

Steve's collection is outstanding and was my main inspiriration but the time is gone that you can buy so many by low prices.
