These pieces make want to get back into ethnographic blades. I too, like the marriage of the barung hilt, to the tanto blade. I once saw a katana, that was re-hilted in Africa, with a decorated scabbard. Would love to know the story behind that one.

A recently acquired Samal (Or is it Yakan?) piece. Massive 46cm blade (18 in), silver punto, silver hilt wrapping.
Anyone have any other examples of this type of hilt weaving on a Barung? |

I was watching this one. Congratulations. Nice piece and although I have seen this type of weaving before on a barong, usually it is in brass and not silver. Extensive silver.

I found this ~3 weeks ago. Just had the opportunity to photograph it.
Blade length is 19.5" The Barung with the lighter background belongs to a friend. Apologies for the poor image. I took a photo of a paper photograph. Unlike Battara, all I've seen with wire wraps in this fashion were silver. |

Here are my lonely Barong. The one in the image provided, I have always wondered if it is Borneo.
My other from the Sulu region with a triple core twist blade is seen here; http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...anta+christmas One of the best ones I had that I enjoyed very much is now with Charles; http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...=silver+barong Gavin Last edited by SwordsAntiqueWeapons; 10th October 2014 at 04:09 AM. |

These types are for sure my favorite. Yours is in perfect condition. I think Borneo is a very good option, and I would say it is. Kind regards, Maurice |

I liked this thread a lot when I was starting my steel-collecting journey, so I'm necro-ing it. Here's my favorite so far.

Burst of activity in January 2012, them self-extinguishing dribbling up to 2014. Than silence until today. And... B-a-aahm! Another wave ( like covid).
I love how this Forum works: nothing is forgotten, new information is posted in bursts, and sometimes it changes the way we look at things. It is like one of the main laws of Talmud: there is no before or after, our understanding may be interruptible, but always deeper and deeper. Good job, colleagues! |
