Looks to be a gorgeous example after some restoration and 'tlc'.

Congrats!

Looks like a very nice example of a known type of barung with MOP inlays in the pommel. Although showing some wear and tear on the hilt, the pommel seems to be all there--often they show some chipping or are missing some of the MOP plates. I'm sure Jose will do a wonderful job on it.

Hi Algelan,

very nice example, you will know already who will restore the broken band at the hilt!

It's otherwise in more as good condition but very well paid!

Regards,
Detlef
