Nice to have this and thanks for the stills.

I noticed that the men with barongs were "fighting" upright and not low to the ground (until one fell down).

Interesting to see a budiak still being sharpened.

The dugung a vicious animal!?!?

Thanks too, Battara and Dhadha.

The movie is available in both DVD and download format.

Hope that whoever can get those here in the forum, can post clearer stills. Thanks.

The dates those films were made is making me rethink the dates generally associated with with some of the barong hilts and scabbard styles seen...generally associated...until now...with WW2 or later. Clearly those heavily embellished styles are a little older than some of us thought, even if only by a decade or so.

I believe that these "dates" are appromimations. I would call 1936 for example close enough to WWII. Styles of course do not suddenly change usually.
