sorry for the late response. been hit with a nasty ice storm. at the moment, i'm on a relative's pc.
anywho, excellent thread and thank you all for your responses. going back to the bangkung:
so basically a bangkung is recognized by its hilt and scabbard. are there any other hilts out there that exist on a bangkung besides the barung style hilt and naga hilt. since it's used by the yakans as zamboanga and zel mentioned, i would assume that a yakan pira-esque type also exist, although i haven't seen one. are there any other types of hilt besides what has been mentioned?
