Barung - finally.

Finally found an older barung inside my budget. sharp mas heck too. the 'crest' on the pommel end has snapped off, but grip is otherwise undamaged. Metal fittings appear a yellowish silvery metal, not sure what it is, doen't appear to be brass or bronze, or aluminum.

the small 'beak' on the lower front of the pommel is as original, no beard, Scabbard has a few cracks I will address, and a bit of the tip also cracked off & break has been worn down. Not sure how old, or what area it comes from, any suggestions appreciated. Thanks.
