Hi everyone,
Zamboanga City's biggest secret in barong making is Jimmy Lubian - considered as the premiere modern barong maker in the entire Zamboanga peninsula. His clientele includes the top brass in the military and the police; elite personalities of the muslim community and the City government. He even counts ASG and MNLF members as his regular customers. He produces a limited number of high quality modern barongs. A Lubian barong bears the following distinction: a distinctive ukkil enqraving on its mother of pearl inlays; high quality mono steel blades; white brass ferrules on banati hilts; and, rattan-wrapped scabbards. The one here for sale has a 16" blade with an overall length of about 23". Price is $180. shipping is $36. Xoom fee to be shouldered by buyer. http://img392.imageshack.us/img392/8191/00044971ro.jpg http://img392.imageshack.us/img392/8816/00044954wm.jpg http://img384.imageshack.us/img384/7928/00045014le.jpg Salamat, carlo |
