A rather nice Barung

excellent work on the rattan bands, Flavio! also, the blade itself looks shandigan (minus the swollen edge)... is it relatively light (overall weight)?

Thank you all for your comments! I was thinking that the scabbard was late 19th century and the barung a little bit recent, but I'm not an expert at all, and this was just an idea that comes in my head. I'm in love this barung, I love it and I tried to restore the best I can

What all you say, guys, just let me happier and more..... I can't post just some pics and say "Hey, look at this piece! Look at this excellent job I've done!"

I want to read from you some other comments since it's a while that I can't partecipate to the forum and truth is that.... I miss you guys

Anyway, thank you so much for your comments!

Spunjer, I'll let you know the overall weight

but it's not so light....

Well I think you did a great job on the etching and on the rattan!

I'm in total agreement with everyone else on this, you have done a wonderful job on the etching and rattan work. Congratulations on this great addition to your collection.

Best,
Robert
