What did I buy? Borneo/Malaysion Kris blade?

Hi Ferguson:

Good catch.

I think the blade was originally part of a Moro kris. A broken or sawn down part of a kris perhaps. Judging from the form of the luk and the width of the blade, I think this might have been quite an old blade originally, perhaps 18th C.

It would not be surprising to find an old Moro blade being re-used in N. Borneo.

Ian.
