Battara,

Isn't that one of those rare Barongs with kamagong hilt with inlaid ivory?
Could you please post a close up for us to admire?

Thank you folks. Been wanting to do this for a while.

Here is a link on Federico's site for the kris in the display:

And here is the link for the barong (yes VVV, it is one of those rare barongs

):

I will post more closeups of the kris (possibly barong if can find them) and the armour in the next couple of days.

Here are closeups of the kris with ivory, silver, and swaasa. I made the scabbard from scratch.

Here are some pictures (front and back) of the Moro armour made of horn and brass plates, and brass chain maille. I have yet to restore it (another 10 year project

).

As far as closeups of the barong are concerned, this is all I have at present. If I can get better closeups I will post them.

Just for good measure, here is a picture of the Kalinga datu brass mounted head axe (with white metal engraved end).

Battara,
Great armour. Thanks for posting more pictures of it. On the back side, is that a stab wound in the lower right hand side? When you do restore this will you make new horn plates to replace the broken ones or will you repair the original ones?
