Moro Kris with Twist Core

Hi George here are some detail pictures of another Maranao twist core kris .
This blade has a wide shallow fuller incorporating the single twist ; you can also see a longer less distinctive 'arrow' feature on each side of the blade . In the case of this particular example I cannot help but wonder if this feature helps to incorporate the applied edges with the core for extra strength .

Pardon the much manipulated pictures as this blade is not topographically etched and the details are very hard to bring out .
