Moro Kris aka The Silver Surfer

Spunjer · 19th April 2011, 08:40 PM

my polish job looked pale compared to this, so off to Batara he goes. i got it back early this week, and it was put back together. the strap was tricky since it was pretty fragile, and didn't know at first on how to fold it the way it was done without leaving any slack. after much deliberation, and looking at the other krisses, it all came together.
also attaching is a closeup of the lamination. kinda hard to capture like i said, but you could pretty much see it...

hope you all enjoyed my amateur restoration job on this old warrior.

I was also really glad to work on the other one too. In fact the other one is the nicest you have sent so far, though in rough shape originally. An early piece and I made the missing okir silver strap. Love all that silver and swassa. Also the silver is nice on the blade. Overall a great piece and if you ever want to through it way, let me know so that I can rummage.........

For posterity's sake, what would the origins of the Silver Surfer be (Aside from Galactus of course, haha)?

(I'm trying to fine-tune my kris origin-sniffing skills :P ) Maranao? Sulu? Maranao hilt with a Sulu blade? These are all the thoughts I have for this sword, but instinct is leaning me more towards just Maranao.

Also while I'm at it, would the scabbard be indicative of origin? What would this one tell us?

Just would like to add here: That thing is BADA$$!!!

For the silver surfer I would say that the hilt is Maguindanao while the blade and scabbard are Sulu.
