Hey Bill,

Are you talking abuot the first one in the second group? The twistore group?

This is an interesting piece. An expert thinks it could be a "transition piece," possibly made in Brunei.

Let me begin another thread with pictures of this Kris.

An excellent suggestion about x-raying the hilt. I also want to x-ray my kris with the VOC blade. Any other suggestions? (You rent the x-ray machine by the hour -- $200 -- as many pictures as you want).

I should add in the Maranao kris with the tang repair also. He can x-ray steel or iron better than copper/bronze.

I should take several pieces. Any other suggestions?
