I don't think this is of major interest to this thread, but I've an observation also about the asang-asang that could be of importance.
A Sulu kris I have bought a while ago, came to me in very poor condition, with very rusty blade, not cleaned in what way so ever, crosspiece broken and so on. The asang-asang of this piece also looks like it moved off the place where it belonged to be. But I'm almost sure that not anyone would have done some efforts to restore this piece according the condition it came with me... If he would have taken time to restore the asang-asang, he would probably fix the whole kris totally! So I guess the reason an asang-asang is off its place, doesn't mean it isn't the real asang-asang.. |

Good point Maurice. Sometimes these can be a little off (like me
 ) because these are hand made.

just a wild guess, rick... perhaps the asang2x was made a little too big and instead of ditching it, it was jury-rigged to fit. never seen one like that. that's pretty cool, tho...
