What is your opinion as to age of the one in this thread as well as the one you posted.
Details will be appreciated.

Hello Bill,
Based on Cato's theory, the Moro Kris in this thread and the one I posted are very old, say 1700's. Also, the angle of the hilt is another indication, this style oftenly seen in older pieces (300 + yrs).
Here's another photo of the Moro Kris that I posted. enjoy
