Gunong

If there are any designs in the guard, please post that too.......

Will do Jose. I'm starting to get excited about its arrival now as I only have the one other gunong which is quite different from this one. I hate to say this but I completely missed this one and the wife put in the winning bid.

Best,
Robert

And I do, very much. One thing though, I do however believe she prefers Moro pieces over the more transitional Luzon ones that I tend to acquire.

Best,

Preferences are fine. My wife who not interested in any of my stuff, was interested in a yatghan I had a while back (and later traded for a better and rare Moro piece).

NICE ONE I ESPECIALLY LIKE THESE SMALL WAVEY BLADED OLD ONES. THIS WOULD BE A GOOD CHANCE TO TAKE A CLOSE UP OF THE TANG AS I DON'T THINK WE HAVE DISCUSSED OR HAVE GOOD PICTURES OF THE FORM OF TANG USED ON MORO GUNONGS OR ON NEWER ONES.

Hello Barry, and thank you for your kind words. When this arrives I will be posting close-ups of the blade as well as the tang and guard. I will also post pictures showing details of the crack in the hilt. I'm sure that I will also will be asking for everyones opinions on the best way to proceed with the hilt repairs including what will be the best glue for the wood and where to obtain cutlers resin "or pine resin to make my own" to reset the blade with. I just don't like the idea of using epoxy for this type of repair.

Regards,
Robert
