Have received some pictures from Jose, he have finished the work at the handle. He is sure that this kris coming from Tawi-Tawi based on research he have done. Here two pictures of the excellent work he have done.
Now he want to replace the missing inlays and the kris will get a scabbard as well.

And here two pictures upon he based his opinion that this kris is from Tawi-Tawi. One is from Stone and one from Ashoka arts.

Yes my opinion has changed since I have done more research. I now think this whole thing is from Tawi-Tawi island in the Sulu region.

Daaaaamn that's sick, Detlef!! What a great mission you've undertaken with this one! Love it, please take some more pics when you have it.

This type of "elephant" is also my favorite of any found on all the kris/keris/sundang.

Jose, you are totally a wizard, that work looks amazing! With the caliber of stuff you hold though, you should seriously consider asking Santa for a new camera this year.

...or maybe we should all chip in!?

Awesome you guys!

Best wishes, Thor

Thank you Thor! I only have had two options, either let it in this poor state like I have received it or let work this two excellent restorer on it.
Will post pictures when I have received it.

WOW on the restoration. Unbelievably beautiful job!

Thank you folks.

I have yet to re-engrave and then re-inlay the missing silver, and then make a Tawi-Tawi scabbard.

Oh and I apologize about my horrible camera techniques. Trying to work on that.
