1. it has 27 waves in the blade .

2. there is a possibility the core of the blade is of twisted steel .

3. the tiny ivory pommel is usually a sign of an early sword .

I would be willing to bet that if the Seller had posted even halfway decent photos of this sword it would have sold for much more .

Agreed. This was a somewhat unusual piece.

Agree with David and Rick, this is a very nice Kris. BTW, I also have been one of the bidders.
