Swords of Jolo, Sulu 1

Wow, Dan - fascinating post and nice swords. There are many here with more experienced opinions than mine, but while clearly in 20th C dress, the blades look 19th C to me and nice ones at that. I haven't seen a kris blade with piled construction quite like yours. Neat story, too, about those blades cycling back out of the past to connect their heritage with the new, and hopefully eager, generation of Joloanos.
