Rusted or Antique Gunong? Or both?

I'm guessing 1960s or so.

Agree with Robert and David, a rather recent gunong.

I AGREE WITH THE ABOVE COMENTS BUT STILL WOULD NOT CONSIDER IT JUNK BUT A GOOD PROJECT TO PRACTICE RESTORATION ON. TAKE IT APART, CLEAN THE BLADE AND ETCH, CLEAN UP THE FITTINGS AND REPLACE THE BONE POMEL CAP MAKE IT ROUNDED NOT FLAT. YOU WILL STILL HAVE A WW2 ERA GUNONG BUT A NICER LOOKING ONE AND WILL HAVE LEARNED SOME SKILLS WITHOUT RISKING DAMMAGE TO A OLDER MORE VALUABLE ITEM. IT IS ALSO A PLEASURE TO MAKE SOMETHING WHOLE AND NICE LOOKING AGAIN.

Great suggestion Vandoo. I have always done what you have suggest here and did not even think to mention it to Edmoss.

Thank you for bringing this up.

Best,
Robert

That is a great idea Vandoo, though i would hesitate to call this a "WW2 era" gunong. I think it's just a bit newer than that in spite of the rust.
