Well, i see some yellowing in you first photos, but i looks more like dirt and possible old varnish, not gold wash or plating. I think it looks 100% better now. I assume you did the same for the fittings on the sheath?

yes David. I polished the fittings on the sheath as well. Here are the photos. The stand of the gunong is recycled from a modern punyal and fortunately it fits perfectly.

You have a fine gunong. The banati wood is as nice as I have seen. The laminations in the blade are unusually “active “. It is 100 times better than my first gunong. Congratulations!
