Hi Rick,

I don't think that this are all Maranao kris. The "M" staying for Moro. Try to download the picture and you will see.

I think the most are Maguindanao.

I agree with Sajen - most are Maguindanao. Interesting set.

Rick · 17th December 2011, 10:39 PM

Okay, so they are Maguindanao; I always get them confused ..

The question remains the same just change the name .

Gentlemen, thank you for your expertise! When I was collecting, about the only thing I could tell was: "Is this one any different from the rest of the
crop?" And, if it was, and the price wasn't unreasonable, I'd usually jump.
Nowadays, you aficionados know not only what island the sword came from, but which SIDE of the island! I take my hat off to you!
Thanks again,
Bill

I don't know exactly but someone confirm this in this thread: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...ht=maguindanao Look post #16.

I have done some research and have seen that they (the Maguindanao kris) come with all sort of pommel. Maybe some of our knowledge members can tell more?

Here some more pictures of Mag. kris with this pommel style taken from old threads. The last two seems to be an older style.
