We are still at store no. 3 ...
By the way, the one with MOP in the scabbard was the subject of my earlier query in http://216.219.192.186/vb/showthread.php?t=7349. Nobody has yet commented on what the characters mean ... the blade is supposed to be from a juramentado. From Wikipedia: Juramentado, in Philippine history, is an archaic term derived from the Spanish word juramentar, meaning one who takes an oath, and refers to a male Moro warrior who attacked and killed targeted Christian police and soldiers, expecting to be killed himself in the attempt.

highly doubt it was from a juramentado, or magsabil. the last true cases were during the early part of 20th century. after that, it was more like crazy amoks running around, gunning for anyone, christians and muslims. the barung is from the latter half of the century. i don't think the moro made a specific barung for such an act anyways... if you don't mind tho, could you please list the name and contact of those stores listed? dunno if i get to make it there next year, but if i do, i would like to visit them... last time i was there i visited mang ven's store in ermita |

thanks for the comments. that lays to rest then the notion that said barung was especially made for or by a juramentado. following david's advice, i'll just email you the contact info of the stores listed. on the shops in ermita, manila, i've never been there but i do plan on going there today. i'll also look for mang ven's shop. best regards! |
