Hello Charles,

Quote:
Any symbolic significance to the brass inlays that anyone can think of??
This blade doesn't look antique to me - maybe more like before WW2? While the dots may still have had some meaning in Malay culture, I wouldn't discount the possibility that they were just added because they are seen in some Moro kris, too...

Regards,
Kai
