Sulu kris with ivory horse hoof pommel

[DaveS]

Here is a moro kris with a horse hoof pommel that has carabau horn spacers. 22 inch laminated blade, 27 inches overall. Something not seen very often is a plate of silver on the back end of the gangya. At the tip of the blade it looks like there could be a talismanic engraving, maybe in this case a centipede. Kris is probably from the early to late 20s. Scabbard from the second W.W. or a little later..........Dave.
