Hi this is my latest

That's a nice one D. I've been looking at that for a while. I like that fabric
wrapped scabbard, a fullered blade, and the Ivory kakatua.

Spunger,
I also recall back in the day, a man with a smashed grill hanging around the Sari-sari store, looking for someone to kick him down some tuba. LOL!

A beautiful Kris!
I have also had my eyes on this one for a while.
The fabric on the scabbard is very interesting and I haven't seen
that before. Do you know the meaning/purpose of it?

Dajak, Kino, VVV;
Could you let me know where this Kris came from? It seems several of you had
a eye on it, and I'm always looking for places to feed my addiction. So could you
let me know your source?
Thanks,
Mike

Spunger, good catch. It looks Bisaya to me, but what do I know.

Mross, PM sent.

Personally, that monster hilt reminded me of my Tito Boy. He loves his lambanog.

On another note, I thought I would revive this thread in case anyone wanted to share a new acquisition, but did not want to start a new thread on their newfound piece.

I have a couple of kris coming in that I find particularly simple (but well done) and would not generate enough discussion to warrant separate threads (WWII. separate gangya. both maranao. I love 'em as much as someone can love an inanimate object, but that's basically all that could be said about these pieces to be honest.) That being said, I thought it would be wise for me to post them here once they arrive, since I am still anxious to share them.

Pics when they come in!

That's really funny, just yesterday I read this thread again und thought about to reactivate it again.

I am curious to see your new babys!
