Hello,
I've recently acquired a Moro kris - pics forthcoming - and I noticed that the scabbard features a number of notches along one side, 13 in total. They are evenly spaced and they do not seem accidental. Does anyone else have such notches on their kris scabbards? is there a known significance to this?

Thanks,
Emanuel
