Two kris

Sajen · 15th April 2012, 12:30 PM

Hello all,

recently I win the ebay auction of this kris: http://www.ebay.com/itm/251033416723...84.m1439.l2649
After I have paid the seller offered me a second kris which one I take as well. Since both kris need some restore work I ask Jose aka Battara if I can let them send to him to do this work and he agreed to to do it.
The one from the ebay auction seems to be a Maguindanao kris and I think the second one is a Maranao. The Maranao kris have some corrosion and I hope and cross my fingers that it isn't to deep.
Here at first the pictures from the Mag. kris.

And here the pictures of the other one, Maranao kris.

Maybe it's possible that the seller will be able to provide the name of the soldier who bring this both kris to the States. He will contact me when he is successful.

As usual all comments are welcome.

Hello Detlef, Very nice kris you have there. I will be very interested is seeing them again after Jose works his magic on them. Having the seller offer you the second was a real stroke of luck. My congratulation to you on these new additions. Maybe Jose will be able to supply you with progress picture to post as he works on them.
