[tom22]

Hi Ian , Thanks for taking your time to explain this , its very interesting to realise there is so much unkown history which also makes it more interesting .
Personally i really like the anting and what kinda of won it for me , quite a personal touch , i havnt had mad many kris but have allways been drawn to them and so thanks for your info,
regards
Tom

I would definitely say a Sulu blade, and a 1700s one at that.

The pommel reminds me of those found on some Maguindanao kris.

Clean it first, then etch. You might be surprised.

Thanks Battara
Im quite a novice ,
Ive had a few moro kris and thought the archaic style might mean its an older blade ,
It will be interesting to see if its a twist core blade ,
i will repost when i recieve it and test to see,
