Kris or Sundang?
I found this Kris/Sundang some weeks ago when in Germany.
It's not the best blade and I haven't had time to turn the hilt etc. But I found the hilt and sheath combo unusual and interesting. There are traces, on both the blade and the sheath, that it originally had one clamp. From where do you think it originates? Michael |

There is a flat tang present; does that hint of a Philippine origin ?

I'm sort of with Marcokeris on this one - has elements of Sulu and Malay - Kalimantan for me therefore.

Beautiful piece. I thought it might be Sundang Sulu.
