Welcome to the forum! Could you please post dimensions of this Moro blade?

The nice blade seems from Sulu to me, too. I'd guess it might be late 19th c. or turn of the century at the latest. I especially like those one-piece asang-asang (clamp at the base of the blade) made from iron...

The metal on the fittings looks more like white metal rather than silver. Maybe the hilt and scabbard are a bit later replacements? When did this kris come into your family?

Regards,
Kai
