Just for fun, here is a photo of another sword that was attributed to Borneo from awhile back. What a size difference. |

Kino that little barong you have is the first of it's type that I have seen that has a silver ferrule (below the horn punto). Vitamin E? - never thought of that.
Also I think that Ibeam and Cecil Quirino would call the larger barong in the picture a sipput barong. My understanding is that these are not as wide and perhaps longer than the average barong. |

I will look later if I can find images of barungs like these with a silver ferrule like yours. Funny contrast those two next to eachother. But I like the smaller "tubby" one more, but that is just my taste... |

Hi Kino,
Well it is possible it might not be a barong. At the same time, sipput barong blades are similar to your piece in question. Here are some examples of 2 sipput barong (the second one I sold to Ibeam years ago): |

I am removing my pics from this thread to start a new thread regarding what I believe to be a Yakan barong.

I don't think it is a good idea to remove pics from a thread since this makes tracing the original discussion difficult or even impossible. If there is any new information later on, just add it to the thread possibly with a link or two. Just my 2 cents though... Regards, Kai |
