The blade may be older .
Low money ? I believe the scabbard style is from Mindanao . It may be a mix of blade and dress . ![]() ![]() Mountings look old (not as old as the blade) to me . Congratulations Sajen . ![]() Last edited by Rick; 6th November 2010 at 12:10 AM. |

Rick got the right island.
![]() I would put it at Maguindanao tribe, which is on the east side of the island of Mindanao. Age - perhaps 1920-1940? The blade however is definitely older, late 1800s to 1900? Good that it has a separate ganga. |

Thank you Rick and Jose for assign the origin and age of the kris. I special like the old cloth wrap/anting-anting at the sheath.

Rick - it would be easy to confuse the two, they are next door neighbors!
Sajen - you are welcome and I did not even see the mansala (cloth) until you mentioned it...... Also a light etch might bring out a pattern in the blade. |
