A Moro Kriss...or Not???

One thing that has popped up in other threads concerning Zonneveld is that he does not attribute a people with the place. In a larger sense Kalimantan can be used to describe Borneo. As has been noted in other threads Sulu had possession of N Borneo up til about the end of the 19th century. So does Kalimantan then exclude Sulu colonies in N Borneo. It has also been noted in Warren's trilogy of books that there were Iranun colonies in Sulawesi. Are these items then possibly from Iranun colonies in Sulawesi? Given the age of the items (if we assume they are 19th century pieces according to prevalant aging theories), then their birth date, so to speak, are well within the ages of Sulu colonial rule in N Borneo aka Kalimantan, and Iranun colonies in Sulawesi. Anyways, suffice it to say my vote is Sulu Moro.
