Moro kris with copper scabbard

Well, we know for sure that it's at least close to 30 years old because we have had it almost that long. So then these all-metal scabbards are still being made? Regardless, the workmanship is really great!!! You can't even see most of the solder lines when taking a close look..........Dave.

Yes. They point to from often the late 1930s to the 1990s. Only very recently are they now curving the luk again in Marawi City, but still in a manner that is different from the 1910s back.
