A simple gunong with pattern welded blade
Another simple gunong, with an engraved pattern welded 5 3/8" (13.65cm)blade . Overall length is 8 3/4"(22.2cm). Banati hilt with silver(?) and copper ferrule. Not old, but nice. For your enjoyment.

Guys, this is great! Love to see more of these.
 Keep it up. Kronck, you've got to give that one an etch. She really looks like she may be hiding a wonderful secret. Steve |

Steve: I think this one just might be older than you think. I wouldn't be surprised if it was early 1900s to maybe 1930. It just dosn't look like a 60s or 70s piece to me. The blade and handle look much too refined to my eye to be that late. A very nice moro dagger..............Dave.

I don't know....I would not necessarily place it in the 60s but it is not 1900-1930s. I might place it in the 40s-50s. This might account for the lamination and the later blade engraving. The style of hilt would also make sense from this time period. Earlier ones (1900s-1920s) tend not to have engravings and are longer and definitely laminated.
