Hello Steve,
WOW

absolutely beautiful!! I see that you have almost doubled the size of your collection of gunong. I hope to see you keep on posting updated pictures as you acquire more items to add your ever growing family.

It's been two years since the last family portrait. I've been fortunate to find a few more examples in that time. Took the children out today for a new picture.

Isn't it great when the whole family can get together at the same time.

OMG, what a great collection! Do you have a display at your wall or how do you keep them?

I hang a few of the large ones by cords from my sword racks. The rest are wrapped up in a drawer. I'd love to have them displayed but my "armoury" is just a small room with my computer desk and a chair. I have khukuris, kris, barongs, tenegre and all manner of sharp pointy objects on the walls. I'm afraid that if I venture out of this room with my collection, I might get serious static from She Who Must Be Obeyed.

Any bigger/individual pics of the one I circled in red, Steve?

It's gorgeous! The carvings are unlike anything I had seen in Moro work. Silverwork looks very Maranao to me though. All in all it's a gorgeous piece.
