Default Southern Indian swords and The Moro Kris is there a Connection?
Hi All

I was just pondering if you think there could be any connection between the Southern Indian swords and the Moro kris? Here are a few pics for comparison. Notice the general shape of the blade and there seems to be some type of similar retaining band that anchors the blade to the guard?
