Yes a nice unique kris but I think the bidders got a bit carried away.

I agree. Unless that inlay turns out to be gold (and even then), that's far too much money for a kris like this in that condition and without a sheath. I truly hate seeing the market driven up so high like this.

Nice sword. I would guess it's 19C Maguindanao. Not sure if the new owner is going to etch it, but I would not be surprised if it came out with a marble pattern.

Hi,

I think that is one really nice keris. The inlay is simply marvellous!! Prices are subjective for sure. Congrats on a very nice keris.
