Yet another gunong for comment
Hello,
it seems that it is gunong time!   Have won this mislabeled gunong with MOP handle, the seller stated that the fittings are from silver. Since we have had recently a discussion about the age of this daggers it would be from great interest for me what you think how old this one is. My guess: 1920-1930  Here the link and the pictures: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Antique-Vint...vip=true&rt=nc |

I would agree with you - 1930s? Exact dates are difficult for these.

It may even be early 1940s - MOP was a later development.
Hope you etch the blade to see if there is any lamination. |

Do you guys think this is the original sheath. Usually when i see silver ferruled gunongs the fittings on the sheath are also silver....and the gunong does not seem to fit into this sheath fully. Seems a mismatch to me...

yes, will etch the blade. The elongated handle and the thin bulbous midsection let me think that it is more early. You don't think that the midsection would be more bulgy by a 1940s gunong? Best, Detlef |
