Moro Kris with rare shaped blade
4 Attachment(s)
Rare to me. I know of two others in existence ( I don't get around much), perhaps there are more residing in other collectors armory, one belongs to Justin and the other to Mabagani. At one point I offered to take it off their hands, but they were not ready to part with it.
I've always wanted one. This past April I was greatly honored when Dave and Lonna S., offered to take it off their display board and trade this one to me for a Borneo sword. Thanks Lonna and Dave. |
1st one I have seen, so thanks so much for posting. Gorgeous piece!
The blade shape does not seem to alter in any way the way the kriss would be used in combat. I have to wonder if this is "influenced" by something else, since this blade type/shape is not typically Moro. |
Beautiful kris. I also have seen at least 2 others (maybe they are the same 2 you have seen) so this makes 3. :)

Very nice. Thanks for sharing.

|
Looks like brass to me.

. . . . not really it's brass, I think. It hasn't been polished, I don't think Dave S. polished it when it was on his display board. |
Nice. Wonder if there is any significance or meaning to this kris?
Heres a pic of another kris with the same style blade. Forgot where I found this pic. http://fototime.com/20292CAF7C1B1A0/orig.jpg |

Blade was short, large, well fullered and With a really heavy tip. Sold by czernys too. If I do not mistake, there was a Wierd combo, hilt from Bali and blade sundang or moro The last one was far better than the other exemple. |
