![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Its not clear on the second picture, but the blade has some sort of engarving. The dealer said it was Ottoman. It shows a cresent and a sun if I am not mistaken. The blade also has the "dimashqi" patterns on it. Hope this helps, if you want anymore info or pictures taken, tell me ![]() |

Full sized kris for comparison. Comments? |

I think this is a Kuba Ikula. Open to comments about age and authenticity.
14" overall. |

I know that African is not my specialty, but Bill what you have is a nice puppy - the copper Kuba knives are scarcer and I believe are ceremonial to be used by nobility. I like it.

Very nice Bill totally genuine perhaps 1930-40. This is my latest African find. Ball staff, diameter 4.5cm, shown next to a light knobkerrie.

Thanks for the kind words on the Kuba gents. Hope that some of the African collectors will comment.
Anything about the little kris? |

Budiknon Shield and a few other Moro pieces. Early Christmas presents. Let's see this would be Christmas of 2006, 2007 and 2008 -- maybe 2009?

In the grand tradition of Panday and his coat rack, 25 pounds of 19th c Moro armor.
Wish I had a 28 inch waist. |
