A very nice one. The fittings seems to be from silver?

That is a VERY nice gunong. The fittings do indeed look silver. Congrats!
I've been told that the straighter handle usually means an older one. Steve Ferguson |

That's what I was thinking that this was an older one. You are right Steve.

Thanks for the comments. Glad to hear. I must say that I'm impressed with workmanship.
I think the blade is laminated as well. Hard to photograph though. |

Yup, definitely laminated. This blade could use a mild etch...
Congrats, a really nice gunong! Regards, Kai |
