Gungongs! A big newer one and a small older one

[Battara]

I'm with David.

The big one has all aluminum mounts with some copper. Yes those slabs are horn. And yes this is a late 20th century (1980s -1990s?) piece. I would be quite surprised if it had lamination.

The second one is the more valuable one since it is much older, perhaps by nearly a century. This one should have laminations in it.

I wish Federico's site was still up. It had all of this information on it.

So you're thinking more late 19th century, rather than early 20th for this one?

Oh, wow. His site must be only recently down. I've read his bit on gunongs in at least the last year. I wish he was still active. I've read a ton of his old posts.

Have fun,
Leif

Probably.

You and me both. However, I don't think he collects anymore.
