New barong from epray

[Sajen]

Have won this barong from epray recently: http://www.ebay.com/itm/120961143777...84.m1439.l2648
Any information is very welcome, age, area and so on. And have someone good informations how I can remove the shellac coating from the barong without destroy patina? Haven't received it yet.

Thank you in advance,

Detlef

Very nice older barong. My guess it is from Samal. The carvings on the pommel are similar to mine and mine is Samal.

I'd say you got a good deal on that Detlef. If i had seen that auction i might have given you a bidding war.
Still looking for the right barong for the right price.

Good that you haven't seen it! I am sure you will find one by time. To be open I never have thought that I will get it by this price.
