moro kris arrived

[tom22]

Well the kris finally turned up , ive given it a light clean and tried etching the blade with vinegar but hasnt shown a twist core ,
But still very happy with it , On my last post ian mentioned the wooden hilt would of had a crest but after looking closely there doest seem any evidence of this ?
Im no expert but looks untouched,
would like to think its an older sword 18th century but who knows ?
