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? |

![]() And what we know exact? Most is a pure guessing game. And for my own person I can say that I don't will have the time for a project like this beside my job. ![]() ![]() |

Hello Detlef, Like David I really love the blade on this gunong. The simple but lovely engraving, the slender elegance of the needle pointed blade with its long sharpened false edge, the file work on the short flat section of the spine all combine to make this not only a truly beautiful dagger, but a seriously deadly one as well. Congratulations on yet another great addition to your collection.
Best, Robert |

I recall that the US Army Occupation prohibited the Kris and Barongs from every day sash carry after losing a few troopers, but not the smaller (and just as deadly) gunongs. Many Moro sided with the US, tho a lot didn't. Bit like now, in Afghanistan, hard to tell who is on your side, or not.
