Good day all.
I recently purchased my second Moro sword from Mang Venn in Manila (a Barong). As I was there, a particular kris caught my eye and Mang Venn, savvy businessman as he is, lent it to me to "feel" if I wanted to get it too. Honestly, I do. It hit all the right buttons. But one thing that bugs me is identifying whether the kris is from Sulu and whether it's relatively modern or early post-war. The gangya is also confounding to me as the line seems very subtle but I can't confirm if it's actually separate or cosmetic. So help, please! Still new to this compared to you fine folk. But I am very excited as I got to meet a relative who's a politician in Sulu who'll send me a kris once he finds a good one there. Thanks! Regards, Joren |
