here are the kris and barong as i have received them the first time. the former owner coated it with "rust converter" thats why it was all black.
i had sanded it down a bit to remove most of the black, and put on metal polish.
the barongs thread wrapping was disintegrating, i re-wrapped it with cotton thread.
the gunong i got in that condition, i didnt do anything to it but wipe it with cloth damp with a little oil.
