Copper Bladed Gunong

Jose, I have been very interested in these copper and brass bladed weapons for quite a while now. I just wish I could find a bit more information on them than what little I have been able to find so far. Thank you very much for the information on the ivory.

Detlef, thank you for your kind words and for your help in my being able to acquire this piece. Hopefully another one will surface and you will then be able to have one in your collection as well.

Steve, thank you for posting your example here to help show how diverse the styles on these can be. As for the missing scabbard band, as it looks to be a simple brass piece with no decoration it should be an easy enough fix to replace it yourself or have replaced. If you are tired of looking at it I am sure that I could find a place in my collection for it.

Best,
Robert
