interesting, ian. didn't know that the predominant dialect over there is tagalog. i always assumed that since it's in the same latitude as the visayan region, a variant of the visayan dialect would be spoken there.... |

Danganan Kris with blade of sulu origin. 18th c. low grade silver kakatua and banati tagub (mindanao ???) appears to be of later addition, perhaps 19th c. OAL = 26". blade = 21"

Spunger, according to Cato's classifications, your kris might be more Sulu due to the trunk area and the noticible lack of any okir.

hi battara.. right you are. the blade has all the sulu characteristic. what i'm wondering about are the hilt and tagub's origin; whether it's mindanao or sulu..

Bear in mind though, that the position of the hilt relative to the scabbard is a convention that may vary from area to area. For instance, Surakarta and Yogyakarta strictly observe the convention of the hilt being parallel to the scabbard and facing the short end of the crosspiece. Madura and Bali on the other hand, have their hilts either at an angle to the scabbard and in the direction of the short end of the crosspiece, or, as for Surakarta and Yogyakarta. As a matter of fact, I have seen kerises from Malaysia, where the hilts are as in the above picture, parallel to the scabbard and facing the long end of the cross piece. Even in the Moro kris, one can find the hilts parallel to the scabbard and facing either the short end or the long end of the crosspiece. |

I've had this for a little while but just got around to taking some pictures.
![]() ![]() A mid Qing period jian in decent shape, the guard is particularly nice while the pommel is a bit rough in construction. Overall dark chocolate patina which makes photographing a bit of a bummer. ![]() You can see the rest of the pics I have of it here: http://esnips.com/web/inormsPhotos |

![]() I don't know what the "28" means. I noticed it when I was cleaning the blade. Let me know if you have problems in securing the whale bone. I know of someone that deals in Ivory (marine, elephant, fossil), and others of related nature. Nice catch on the Kamp. |

Hello Bill,
Where it comes from is a little hard to be sure of. The seller had a very similar but much longer, a staff but damaged, with leather covering the ball part. The stitched leather work reminded me of West African work and as I have another long twisted baton from West Africa I am inclined to think this may well be from those parts rather than the south. Just guess work, nice old one. |
