Thanks Detlef. Why do you say "clearly a Malay sundang?" I came to that conclusion by noting that it was not a Moro kris (based on the negative features that I listed). Do you have affirmative features that lead you to think it is clearly a Malay kris?

What do you make of the greneng treatment in your assessment of age for a Malay kris?
