Hi Guy's
Thanks for the warm welcome back
hmm hoped i had a good find but is seems someone did some creative work on it ..
Maybe i will ask someone to restore the silver sleeve back on the hilt , on the other hand if this is a piece of history ( war bring back ) so maybe it is better if i leave it like this ...
Opinions about this ?
The blade thickness at the spine is 5 mm , I attached a photo.
History about this one , i really don't know because in Holland we don't have any history with the Philippines so not a war bring back.
I did buy this barong in a lot together with some Indonesian pieces, a rudus/ rencong and a Javanese sword .
The come from a old collection, that's al i know .
I will post the rudus later just for the fun of sharing and learning.
Regards,
Danny
