I noticed when I acquired this gunong the fittings on the scabbard were color yellow/gold. When I polished it, it is now color silver. I am not sure if this is the original color or I erased the gold/yellow plating when I polished it.

Really nice gunong you have here, early 20th century would be my age guess. Now the silver looks how it should do! Regards, Detlef |

I would say that your example likely has a copper-silver alloy, such as coin silver (silver 90%, copper 10%), which was fairly common on gunong. |
