A Moro Kriss...or Not???

CharlesS · 20th February 2005, 05:59 PM

Here is a recently acquired kriss that at first glance says "Moro", but there are just enough unique features to make me wonder if it is, indeed, Moro. The blade is lighter than most Moro pieces, though perfectly balanced for a vicious blow. It is of a laminated pattern, and features connecting circular talismans. The scabbard is especially unique with its intricate carving and bone and horn chape.

Any input or comments are most appreciated.
