Blade looks older than the handle and fittings. I'd venture a guess to say the smaller knifes, sheath and blade are original. Handle seems to be a re-hilt.

Looks kinda touristy to me, does not give the appearance of age. But it's just a feel no facts to support it.

The seller had the description as pre 1879 war. Does this seem correct? It is supposedly an English capture.

How do you differentiate between the throwing spears and the stabbing spears?
I thought the smaller heads where the throwing and the larger heads the stabbing?

Not sure where the Mindanao came from never said it was. It is definitely Sulu. That was not in question. We will have to agree to disagree on the age though.

This is the best pics I can do at the moment. My phone is old and the camera not the best. But it shows what I want. The size of the kris under discussion and one of my archaics is spot on. Length,...

Jose,
Looking at your work it is absolutely amazing. What you are doing I think firmly puts you on the path that Buster Warenski took for his King Tut dagger.
