I think that I never have shown the sixth piece from the right in my last family picture, so here you go.
27,5 cm inside scabbard, 27,3 cm without, blade alone 17,8 cm, 213 gram. Age guess 1930s-1940s. Mounts from copper, brass and german silver.

Thank you David, I am as well so I want to show it. The point of the blade is like a needle and the blade very well worked, a dagger for real business.

I have never looked closely at the gunong in its socio-cultural context, but browsing through this thread, it seems to me that there is a plethora of material for a rather solid sort of paper.

Has any such paper/article/commentary already been published?
