Maranao battle kris

I would have made an offer had I not already acquired a similar piece beforehand. That being said, I was watching with interest to see how much it went for. These straight-bladed maguindanao/maranao pieces are really beautiful. As a practitioner of eskrima and indonesian Silat, I really have come to appreciate the balance of simplicity and elegance in these pieces.

Beautiful Kris, wonderful provenance! I hope to hear more of Mr Crosley should you come around to finding anything else.
