A Small Gunong for comment

[Rafngard]

Iron would make sense, I just tested it and a magnet sticks to it. Brass and or copper would make sense, it's a rather simple piece. The guard and ferrule seem to be a single piece.

I'll work on getting out polished up and etched.

I'm accumulating a pile of things to etch.

Thank you as always for your comments Battara.

Thanks,
Leif

I agree with Battara. Looks like a nice old, simple, honest piece. Congrats! Careful, they're addictive.

Hi Leif,

now I know who bid me out by this one! I am looking already long for a gunong with such a elongated pommel. But I've thought (or hoped) that the ferrule is dark patinated silver. Still a nice good honest piece. Congrats.

Regards,

So you're the one that made me bid higher!

Actually, I could tell it wasn't silver, so I had to protect you from it.
I'm sure you'll protect me from the next one.

In seriousness, thanks! I'm very happy with it.

Have fun,
Leif

Leif, personally I would clean the guard and ferrule and apply linseed oil to the pommel and scabbard. When you polish the pommel before with car polish the grain of the wood come out more nicely.
