I'm posting this for Dave S.
Give us the stats Dave. Does it have a scabbard? What is the wrap around the handle.

A VERY NICE OLD BLADE WITH A GREAT PATTERN. THE HANDLE IS NOT OF A PHILIPPINE FORM AND MORE CLOSELY RESEMBLES A MALAYSAN OR INDONESIAN GOD FORM USED ON THE KERIS DAGGERS.
PERHAPS THE KRISS BLADE WAS ALSO MADE IN MALAYSIA OR INDONESIA OR IT MAY BE A MORO BLADE WITH A KERIS FORM OF HANDLE ADDED

. EITHER WAY IT LOOKS NICE. DOES IT LOOK LIKE THE HANDLE AND BLADE HAVE BEEN TOGETHER LONG?

Thank you Ron, great example. An old form of hilt that may harken back to Indonesian forms.
