I agree with what everyone has said.
I only add one thing: your gunong was probably made in Marawi City in the Maranao region. This is Maranao work on the scabbard. |

oh poop
So I finally got time to clean the punal up a little. I started on the blade with 0000 steel wool and balistol oil. On each side there is what appears to be a copper insert. Also where I was cleaning at the base of the blade the hilt/guard appears to be similar to copper. Was wondering if I had gone too far with the hilt/guard and started removing what might be a silver wash?
Any suggestions/recommendations greatly appreciated. |

May have been silver wash - not unusual for this recent type and very little silver in that wash. Wouldn't worry about it.
