Barong from ebay, what do you think?

Very nice barong, one that I know many would have liked to add to their own collection. As far as using the coins to help determine age I cannot agree as they could have been added at any point in this items life. Coins could easily be older or newer than anything they are attached to. Even if a coin is being used as a guard on a knife it does not necessarily mean that both pieces are of the same general age. Congratulations on a great addition to your collection.

Regards,
Robert
