I have received the restored datu barong from Jose and as always he has done a magnificent job. Here are the pictures of the restored sword. Enjoy.

Very nice barung; the scabbard deserves special mention, too!
The braided wire looks like copper rather than suasa, I guess? I do believe that the blade deserves a full polish though! Regards, Kai |

Isn't it amazing what a little elbow grease and clean-up will do!!?? You have really brought this barung back to life in such a way that the Moros of old would really appreciate it.
Well done, and congrats! |
