Detlef,
What a wonderful collection of gunongs you have been putting together. If ask I would have to say that even though they are all beautiful examples of the pandays art that the third one from the left and the one with the deeply cut blade that is ninth from the right are my favorites ones in this grouping. I am looking forward to seeing many more photos of new pieces as you find and adopt them into this family.

Best,
Robert

NICE Collection! You clearly have good taste and have been quite selective in your gunong acquisitions. Lovely pieces!

I think that I never have shown the sixth piece from the right in my last family picture, so here you go.
27,5 cm inside scabbard, 27,3 cm without, blade alone 17,8 cm, 213 gram. Age guess 1930s-1940s. Mounts from copper, brass and german silver.

Thank you Robert as well for the work you have done on some of this examples. The two mentioned ones are also my favorites.

Best regards,
Detlef
