Sulu kris
G'day
 Would this be a middle period or archaic period kris? Pre 1850's? To me, a piece with some prescense regardless. I have stained kris. Kind regards to all, Daniel

HelloDaniel, could you post a close up of the gangya area, I think that this will help to understand better the age of your kris
Regards FLavio |

Thanks for your interest Flavio.
Blade is light, 22 oz Blade length 20 1/16 in Overall length 24 3/4 in To me, it is craft and art. If all these photos are too many I will delete if required. I have included some pre stain photos. The blade also has a slight swollen tip. Cheers Dan |

Looks to be what I would put in the transition category. I say early 1800's. This
thread; http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?t=6853 might be of interest. A very similiar kris. |

I agree with MROSS and definitely Sulu with the front part of the ganga and the style used in the ferrule.
A great piece - congratulations!  BTW - the scabbard is later. |
