Hello Xasterix.
Can't tell you too much about them as I find Barung nomenclature somewhat confusing. However, #5 is slightly hollow ground but it does not have a pronounced rib so I don't think it could be called shandigan. The inscription on #6 is hard to read. I can only make out:- From (somewhere) village I cannot read the second line at all Bought by Col Bird ? April 4 1900 Cheers Roy |

Adding another barung to the thread...partially restored, had to plug holes and cracks on the c-horn. I'll be restoring the blade to full functionality soon. Taking a mugshot before it's fully live again
