			I have recently  acquired my first bangkung. I guess end 19th to early 20th century. I am in progress to polish the blade to give it a light etch but I am not sure if the blade is laminated.  
		
		
		
			Any comments on age and exact origin? Last picture shows it together with some other Moro blades for size comparison. 67 cm overall, blade 51 cm, 9,65 mm thick behind the handle, 591 gram, no scabbard. Last edited by Sajen; 30th January 2022 at 05:27 PM.  |
