Another Moro Kris...
 
Having written enough Haikus :) :) Moro Coke-annihilation party, I would like to show another Kris that just ended.

To my eye, it is 20th century. The most interesting thing is the inscription on the scabbard. I doubt it can be read from the screen, but it will tell it's story to the new owner.
Any hints?

Well, it looks like there was once an acquistion date written on the sheath, but all i can make out id "July". Maybe the owner will decipher more. :)
We were discussing these engraved kris in another thread and i believe it was determined that some of them date back at least to the very beginning of the 20thC.
