Unusual kris with shell guard

Hello Carlos,

I'd love to see this blade etched! This would be much safer to do after disassembling and allow for some additional closer inspection (e. g. as suggested by Gustav); removal of active rust from the tang will also lessen pressure on the horn hilt and avoid further splitting which already is apparent on both hilt ends. Please let me know if you could use any help with such a project...

Best wishes,
Kai
