Hello Blue,
was on my watch list but decided not to bid, the demage at the handle was to great, even when I have also a barong with a handle demage, see here: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...ghlight=barong
The blade from your barong is laminated for sure, you can see it at some of your pictures and should come out very good after a good polish and etch. The crack in the scabbard could be glued and the missing resin down from the handle could be supplemented. The wrapping could be restored very easy and I would polish the wood with car polish and after this oil it, the complete piece will look much better after this. Please post pictures after you have received it and from the steps of your restauration.

Regards,
Detlef
