Hello Friends,
I found this tiny gunong on Ebay. Overall length is 5 3/4" overall (146 mm). It looked small in the auction, but I didn't realize how small it was. It's the smallest I've ever seen. Would this have been used by a woman or a child? The brass ferrule and the bands on the scabbard are seamless. Possibly made from cartridge casings of various sizes. It is simple, but of good quality. The monosteel blade is hardened, and well shaped in a diamond cross section. Any comments welcomed. The last picture shows it with my largest 17 1/4" (438 mm) gunong.
Thanks for looking.
Steve
