Who wants to swap? This antique kris in exchange for a 4gb Compact Flash (not the cheaper MicroDrive) card for my digital camera? This is the cheapest I saw …

The CF card will be shipped to a US address (which is free according to this auction). But you are free to get another CF card, especially if it's a better, faster one like the Sandisk Ultra or Extreme.

A more knowledgeable forum member (you know who you are) described this blade this way:

“It's a fully waved kris originating from Maguindanao (i.e. called Lanti locally) and seems to be from the closing decades (or, at latest, turn) of the 19th century. The light 18-inch blade and forging style of the luks resembles late 18c/early 19c pieces. The interesting brass gangya seems to be pretty unique and may be an old, well done replacement. Hilt was recently reglued with pitch (may had been a bit loose due to the missing asang-asang) but may possibly be the original hilt.”

Total length w/ scabbard: 25” / 63.5cm
Blade w/ handle: 22-3/4” / 58cm
Blade only: 17-1/2” / 44.5cm
Weight: 500 grams
Shipping cost to US: $26 (pls ask for other countries)
