FS: Moro kris

Selling this blade for $250 + $35 EMS shipping to the US (ask for other countries), payment thru Paypal.

Sorry, I don't have much to say about this kris's provenance, although I got this from my usual source in Marawi. I think the many embedded round brass near the guard were added recently, but I could be wrong. Blade has blackened w/ age, has some surface rust & pock marks. I suppose handle is from stag antler (my Maranao source insists it's ivory, but I'm 99.99% sure it's not), wrapped with bronze cord. I don't know what's that gold-colored coin-like round thing in the handle.

Almost forgot -- no scabbard.

Maybe the experts here can say more about this blade.
