A new (to me) mid-20th cent(?) gunong

[Sajen]

Hi Leif,
very nice big gunong! Like Ian I think that it is older, around 1930s would be my guess, compare size and quality with your example on the complete left from your family picture. And I guess that the plain rings at the handle are indeed from suassa, let test it if there is gold content.
Here a very similar (in blade style) examples from my collection:

In the meanwhile I've acquired another one with the same blade style.

Regards,
Detlef

Hello Detlef, Do you think those two are from the same time period?
I had thought the one on the left (with the MOP milt) a little latter, but you definitely know better than I.

And yes! The blade of yours especially is similar to mine! They could be cousins.

Thanks,
Leif

Hello Leif,

yes, I think that this both nice gunongs are from the same time frame, look to the very similar scabbard construction, belt loop, three part cover and so on.
