Kris style

[JeffS]

Awhile back I purchased a kris very similar to the one shown below. I haven't handled it yet as it was shipped to family until I can pick it up. Presumably Sulu with the horse hoof pommel. In both of these examples the pommel is nicely carved, distinctive handle wrap, very wide waved blade, fake ganja line, and course linear/spikey "greneng" filework. I can't tell if the steel is laminated. The bottom two photos are from a recent auction, the top two are the sellers photos of the sword I bought. I have also seen very similar file work on a straight blade Sulu kris. I would be very interested to hear comments on these.
