Barong from ebay, what do you think?

When I stated "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. " I did not mean to imply that the coins attached to the scabbard of your barong were put there with the sole purpose of making this item appear older than it actually is. I was just trying to say that coins are usually added as decorations and can be added at any point in the life time of that item, and can be of any age, older or newer than the item they are placed on.

Regards,
Robert
