That's one very good looking family (and quite prolific, too)

Do the ones with the large ring on the hilt hail from any specific area ?
Like Jose's silver example .. |

Any bigger/individual pics of the one I circled in red, Steve?
It's gorgeous! The carvings are unlike anything I had seen in Moro work. Silverwork looks very Maranao to me though. All in all it's a gorgeous piece. |

Thanks Pepperskull. It's a relatively new piece, maybe 1970s? The style is different from all my others, and very unique. I'll try to get a picture tonight.

Also if the silver is fused/overlaid/plated onto copper, then it is probably Maranao/Maguindanao. All of this works more for those made before WWII. After WWII it is very difficult to determine region. |

The spears are a different type of critter. Bulbs mean something different on those.

ThePepperSkull,
Sorry, I forgot about the pictures you asked for. Here you go. Not traditional work, but beautiful in it's own right. It was a gift from a good friend. Steve |

Awesome collection Steve! Your examples are never just average and always flawless. You have a good eye and terrific tastes in gunong!

Thanks Charles. I have a couple of stinkers that I bought before I learned. They aren't in the picture.

Hey, Tito gunong!
I'm curious about one of the gunong you have here, as it looks similar to one I just purchased. I've cropped your last pic to include just the one I'm curious about. Do you happen to have any more pictures of that one? Thanks, Leif |

I really like this "sort" of gunongs, also when they litterally not antique, to the currently understanding they are from the time frame of the 30th until 40th from the last century, still for use and wear. The bulgy section of the ferrule section is worked from alternating plates, materials are aluminium, black horn, white horn, coloured white horn and probable early plastics like bakelite. Here are pictures of: my example, a bigger picture of Tito Gunong's example and of one with MOP pommel which went once by ebay for big money. Regards, Detlef |

I'm hoping to get some pictures this weekend of this one, and another gunong I recently purchased. And thank you very much for these pics. I had thought that 30s - 40s was about right. I am a bit surprised at how massive it is though! Thanks, Leif |

Also, for size comparison, here's a couple of photos of the new one with my small gunong family.
Have fun, Leif |
