I don't think that my blade will have a twist core pattern.

Today I received the kris and I am pleased with it. (and proud too
)The blade is very small in comparison with my other two kris. The pommel is broken at both sides. I have two questions and it would be nice to get some advices from you. The first: the blade have a nice old patination with nearly no rust. Do you would let the blade like this or you would polish it and stain it? The second: since the pommel is so badly broken I think about to cut it and let carve a new one, this would open also the possibility to attach a new silver band in up without open the binding. I have contact a dealer in the Philippines who see the possibility to let carve a new pommel. And what material you would choice for the pommel? Regards, Detlef |

By all means, etch the piece - probably no need for polish, and get the pommel remade. Just make sure you get it back and that the carver does it according to old tribal standards.

thank you for advice. What do you think, is it better to remove the handle (next problem: I don't know how) or cut it and hide the cut by a new silver band? I have nearly no experience with Moro kris restoration so all my stupid questions!  I don't want to destroy something.

older/18th century Sulu pieces like this are my absolute favourite! Thank you for sharing!
