Antique Kris for Comment
 

Appreciate your comments as to age, etc...

Hi Edmos. I think you would get more comments on these if you were able to provide some better images. Take these kris outside and try shooting them in open shade or with the diffusion of an overcast sky. Try to get some shots directly over them to best show some of the features, especially around the base of the blades. Frankly i would not hazard a guess at the age of these based upon the photos so far. We need to see close-ups of features like the gangya to determine if it is separate from the blade or not, a reasonable element for determing age. They do look older with dirt, rust and all, but there are so many new blades that people "age" to look old that detailed photos are really needed to be more confident ablaut our opinions and even then we can be fooled just looking at photos. :shrug: :)
