Hi some time ago i braught two kris from the USA that claimed to be army bring backs ....they were both heavily coated in Cosmoline witch was a nightmare to remove but gave the "bringback" claim a little authenticity for me.
Of interest was that they both have small typed labels on the scabbards with individuals names"Hadji Ali.Tanbunan,Talayan" and"Jamal. Lambnyao,Tatayam"
I have always wondered if these could have been the names of the original owners[confiscated mabe?] but thaught it was to good to be true.
I will post a couple of pics asap when i find my damn camera cable.
