Hi all, here is my new moro kris, but first of all i want to thank you three members of the forum: Philkid (Charles), Freddy and Battara (Jose) for the different but important help they gave me to help me to get this beauty
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The tail of the pommel is clearly a modern restoration (another wood) and also the scabbard seems recent, but i like it!! Comments are welcome |

Flavio:
That's a very nice Maranao kris but I'm not fond of the repair to the pommel. It looks odd for the period (c. 1900) and I don't think it is consistent with a Mindanao piece (while the scabbard is). The original kakatua pommel would almost certainly have been much plainer with a short, sqare-ended, minimal crest. The carving on the kakatua is well done but not in keeping with the overall presentation of the sword IMO. Ian. |
