Another similar kris hilt pic from the old forum.
Seems like this is a specific style (the carvings) seeing as there are several examples. |

Yes, indeed very similar. Is it an old Sulu style? What i also never have seen before is the way how the hilt is attached to the blade ( by the one I have posted).

OOEEH ! Had I seen the pictures below the one posted on ebay (first one only(right?)) than would have bid a bit more than I have! Nice one! It looks quite Malay style to me, but am no expert on these. Someone got a bargain for $370(?) on it.
Thanks for posting those additional pics of it Sajen! Too bad you didnt win it! |

Yes, only the first picture was posted, the other ones I received on request. I have seen that the sheath was wrapped in Visayan style so i was curious to see better pics from it.  Don't think it's Malay but Sulu.  Agree with you that the happy winner get a bargain also when the tip of the blade is bent. And yes, I am sad that I haven't had more money for the moment to bid higher.
