Nice little collection there. I also like the early wavy bladed gunong with great burled hilt (needs a little etch), and I like that barong with the horn/kamagong hilt and bone/ivory inlays (I always love the contrasts).

I am so glad you got your pieces and that you are happy with the work.

BTW - nice Mandaya sword as well - I like the hilt form, which is much better carved than my own.

Thanks, I love handling that sword. How old do you think the Mandaya sword is? I am guessing at least first quarter of the 20th century.

Thumbs up late to the party...
Hello Algelan,

Congrats for those many excellent pieces and thanks for posting many pics!

I'd guess at 19th century. Very neat piece!

BTW, what date can be gleaned from the coins?

Have you tried to etch the blade?

Regards,
Kai

That gunong was the first one in my collection and I was lucky to get it, with its early age, lovely wavy blade and exquisitely burled hilt. The barong has a kamagong hilt and ivory inlays and was the first nobility/datu barong I got.

You have always turned up excellent restoration work before Battara and I expected nothing less when I entrusted the Mandaya dagger and the scabbard work for the barong. The wait was all worth it.
