Hello Everyone:
I recently purchased this barong and I was wondering if anyone could help me identify the region of the Philippines that it hails from and possible any information as to era of its construction? Furthermore, I welcome any comments or advice on restoration possibilities on the scabbard and blade. The blade information is as follows: Type: Barong Total sword length: 21.5 in Total blade length: 16 in Handle length: 5.5 in Handle Construction: Wood with Rattan weave Scabbard Length: 19.5 in Scabbard Material: Wood covered in Rattan weave Thank you in advance for your help and commentary. Sincerely, J Elagu |

Hello J,
This looks like a Palawan piece - try the search function on this forum for some more examples. I guess yours is a post-WW2 example. Quote:
Etching the blade may yield some additional insights into its construction. Regards, Kai |
