Very nice addition Detlef. You are starting to acquire quite the collection of these. You need to start showing a family group photo every once in awhile too.

Kronckew, I've a "justincase" too. Though not as pretty as yours it does hold 15 rounds.

Best,
Robert

Hello Robert,
thank you. Maybe I will have some work with it, look like the blade is plated.
Will take a family portrait when I have received it.

Regards,
Detlef

i used to have a 1911 colt .45 acp mk. IV series 70 in a shoulder holster hanging on the bedpost when i was last living in the states. and a 12 ga. pump riot gun with an extended mag under the bed. my then wife had my s&w 6in.model 66 in the nightstand drawer on her side. (she got custody of it when we split).

i didn't need 15 rounds

and my group photo:

With that grouping you'd only need one .

Have etched the blade of the in post #19 shown gunong, it shows a nice lamination.

For "this" case I have a long blade! Are the mounts from silver or aluminium?

Regards,

If Justincase came through the door I think I'd rather just shoot the bastard .

My exact sentiments as well Rick.

Have received the gunong, it's a very big one, 36 cm inside scabbard with a blade lenght from 23,5 cm. Fittings are from silver but poorly done. The blade wasn't plated and after a quick polish and etch it show a beautiful lamination. Will show pictures later at the day and also a group picture.

Here the "new" one.

[Sajen]

some close up's!

[Sajen]

And here the family portrait, like you see is Paula very interested by gunongs!

Great little family of gunongs you have put together Detlef, but it seems to me that one is missing though. Didn't you have one with an ivory hilt that Jose did some restoration work on? Even being rather on the large size I still like the proportions and finish of your latest find. Quite a few of the larger ones that I have seen seem to be exaggerated in their features (bulky with harsh angles) while this one stays true to form. If we ever get a day with decent lighting I will post a photo or two of my very limited collection of gunongs to add to this thread. Thank you for sharing these with us.

Best,
Robert
