I am so glad you got your pieces and that you are happy with the work.  |
That gunong was the first one in my collection and I was lucky to get it, with its early age, lovely wavy blade and exquisitely burled hilt. The barong has a kamagong hilt and ivory inlays and was the first nobility/datu barong I got.
You have always turned up excellent restoration work before Battara and I expected nothing less when I entrusted the Mandaya dagger and the scabbard work for the barong. The wait was all worth it.
