TAUSUG BARUNG
Hello,
A recent acquisition. Sharing this vintage(?) Moro barung.
This was sold to us by the heirs of a retired Brigadier General of the defunct Philippine Constabulary(PC). He was assigned in the Zamboanga-Basilan-Jolo area.
My initial thought is that this is a Tausug barung(?) A vintage piece with a 'kastil' type blade profile.
The scabbard is sheathed with a yellow plastic band (as an anti-rain?).
Possible age?
All the best,
Yves
