Ethnographic Arms & Armour - View Single Post - A new (to me) mid-20th cent(?) gunong

Very nice gunong. I don't think the exact age is very important (but I agree with your estimation) as long as it is a good traditional piece.

I would definitely not etch the blade as
1. I do not think they are traditionally supposed to be etched,
2. I do not see any estethical benefit from etching it.
But it is your blade, your call.

Wow... quite a big family you have!
