Hello Richard,

and I have not seen nicer file-work, but as I am unschooled in these weapons, thought I'd better hold off!
Actually, this style of "greneng" is not traditional - if you're looking for a typical 19th c. Moro kris, it was good to pass up on this piece IMHO.

While the quality of the file work does look good and the special style is certainly of interest, I'd guess that this is a 20th c. blade. The separation line does look a bit weird to me and I'm far from convinced that this blade really has a seperate gangya rather than an engraved line...

Hilt does look like a makeshift repair, indeed.

Regards,
Kai
