Barong for comment
Hello,
Here is another recently-acquired barong with intact pommel. A light etch reveals nice lamination. Early 20th century Tausug? Thanks, Emanuel |

Great barong with a wonderfully carved hilt and scabbard and no damage that I could see. I would think about polishing the silver ferrule if it were mine. Can you get any photos that show the lamination? My congratulations on a very nice score.

Hello Emanuel,
would second what Robert has said, very nice and complete barung. Would also like to see the lamination. And agree also that I would polish the silver ferrule. Great catch!  Regards, Detlef |

Nice to have a complete hilt.
This could be a datu working piece with all of the intricate carving on hilt and scabbard. |
