A RARE TURKISH KRIS LOL!

THAT WOULD BE RARE INDEED.
IT WOULD BE GOOD TO SAVE SOME OF THE PICTURES FROM THE AUCTION BEFORE THE KRIS WAS CLEANED TO SHOW THE NATURAL TARNISH ON THE SILVER ECT. UNFORTUNATELY THEY ARE NOT VERY GOOD PICTURES BUT THAT MAY HAVE HELPED YOU WIN THE KRIS , IF THE PICTURES WERE AS GOOD AS YOURS THE BIDDING WOULD HAVE GONE HIGHER. A SUPER DATU GRADE KERIS IN EVERY WAY, IF IT COULD ONLY TALK.
I WONDER WHERE THE SELLER GOT THE IDEA THAT IT WAS ORIGINALLY JAPANESE?. I SUPOSE THE JAPANESE MAY ALSO HAVE BROUGHT HOME SOME MORO KRIS AND OTHER WEAPONS DURING WW2 SO PERHAPS IT WAS IN JAPAN AT SOME TIME? SO IT MIGHT BE WORTH ASKING THE SELLER WHY THE ORIGINAL JAPANESE IDEA, HE DOSEN'T KNOW MUCH BUT MIGHT HAVE A LITTLE INFORMATION ON WHERE AND HOW HE GOT IT. ITS GOOD TO KEEP EVEN THE SMALL BITS OF INFORMATION ESPECIALLY ON A KRIS AS NICE AS THIS ONE.

I remember that "Japanese" auction - that was also what crossed my thought back then...

Actually, I didn't recognized this one from Arnel's nice pics - can someone get me up to speed with an ebay #? Thanks!
