I agree with Detlef, the contrast of the black horn and the ivory is stunning.
A great find! I am green with envy. Have fun, Leif |

This is a nice piece and congratulations! I agree - a great contrast between the ivory and the horn. A great addition to your collection, Tito Gunong!
I will only raise one small issue: I would not consider this an early gunong but a later gunong due to the shape of the pommel and the mono steel blade. These aspects would probably put this into the late 1920s - early 1930s (according to Federico's classification). Still a very attractive piece. |

Thank you Jose for the good information! Only 85 years old then. Good enough for CITES. 😀
