Thank you - So many Gunong!
So many beautiful and functional gunong! I am very pleased to see this fine pictures and hope they will become a reference for others. The mother-of-pearl hilt is especially wonderful.
Best, Dave A. |

A beautiful collection Detlef. When you receive the restored Gunong from Robert, it would be great to see a group photograph.

This gunong will enter the small family of my collection soon. I think it is from around 1910-1920 with half waved blade and silver fittings. 10" or 25,4 cm inside scabbard with a blade from 6,25" or 16 cm.
Your comments are welcome!

Very nice catch Detlef, a great addition to your growing collection of gunongs. I am saving my money for a very special item that I have been wanting to add to my collection for years so I haven't been doing any buying from ebay of late. Going by the dress on the hilt and scabbard I would agree with your dating on this piece though I have always wondered about when this blade design actually first started showing up. My congratulations to you on this new addition and the best of luck to you on finding your next.
