The pommel is very unlike the Sulu style as is this tagub but I am unsure whether the tagub is traditional Yakan style .

This is a beauty ; great score Punal !
I'd love to see a close up of the blade ; looks interesting .

Here the photos of the blade

salamat, dre... i like the scabbard. pretty cool!

the kakatua on this barung is, well, nakakatuwa...

on the auctioneer's pics, the handle looked as if it was loose from the blade. is it?

another yakan sundang. with a bullet wound on the scabbard (.22 perhaps?)

No, it's a solid piece, no shake or rattle at all. The thing that puzzles me thought is its top, it's convertible/rag top down

punal

can you be more specific on what part of the barung is that opening? maybe a wide shot???

btw, that's a nice carabao horn/brass punto.

i should say, the top of the scabbard has at least 6" long X 1/4" wide openning, it's not a crack, it was intended that way.
