Centerpiece of our collection

[DaveS]

Here for viewing are two ivory jungayyan moro krises. The top kris has a 21 inch blade, and is 26 inches overall. The bottom kris has a 25 inch blade and is 30 inches long. Both ivory pommels are virtually identical, both being 4 inches wide. The top pommel is 7 3/4 inches tip to tip, while the bottom pommel is 7 1/4 inches tip to tip. The top kris has alternating gold bands along with braided silver wire, while the bottom kris is hemp wrapped. Those of you with sharp eyes might notice that when I had the description plates made up, that I wrongly attributed the pieces as coming from Sulu, while obviously they are from Mindanao. These krisses are the centerpiece of our knife show display.............Dave.

Barry: Unfortunately we only do two knife shows a year. One in Pasadena, Calif in March, and one in Eugene, Oregon in April. It takes about three hours to set up a full display and it's too much trouble to do a setup like that at a gun show. We do about eight or ten gun shows a year here in calif, and we just set up two tables for selling stuff. It takes only about an hour for setup, so much easier than a full display.............Dave.

Wow! These pics just remind me of the first time Phil introduced me to you and Lonna and how I just stood at your table, cow-eyed, and drooled!

I not sure I spent any time anywhere else!

That was a great day!....and Phil had to listen to me babble about it for the rest of my visit!

...I am still looking for the elusive ball pommel barung for my collection!

Charles: Yeah, I still remember that day like it was yesterday, though I can't seem to remember if you might have met Bob Cato that day. He used to live right next to Pasadena and would always come to the show. This must have been about the time that he stopped coming and we just sorta lost contact with him, and now he has an unlisted phone number. We just don't know where he is now. If we happen to run across a ball pommel barong we will let you know...........Dave.
