Hi guys,

Can u please comment on the age and origin of this kris? I'm thinking of sulu. Blade is laminated and the edges with twisted rod at centre. I dont know how many twisted does it consists. Anybody can help on this? Harsrinuksmo's encyclopedia describes the tunggakkan feature at the ganja is post 1820's but this one looks older (?). Could it be an 18th century piece? Heres the pictures before and after cleaning. (the pictures with blue background are post cleaning)

Btw, im not sure if the tip is really 3 cm wide. I havent recieve the item.

Thanks,
Rasdan
