Jose: You are right. I do remember this discussion. However I think the majority of collectors of moro stuff see blades at gun shows or knife shows that either have been polished by the owners, or they are covered in rust. I don't think most of them have any idea what they were supposed to look like when they were actually in use. In fact most people that come to the shows that we do, invariably ask, when they see a kris especially an Indo kris ask " ARE THESE BLADES MADE OF SOME KIND OF STONE"???. It usually happens two or three times during a show.........Dave.
