Whistlinbill's Collection #1: Kris

Thanks for the input, Ron .
I see your point .

Lots of trade - a good point. Thats why we see a mix of styles on some pieces and it gets confusing. Something Cato does not mention. I have a little more faith in some classification than Ron, but what he says is also true.

Without reading your comment I have had exactly the same thought.

Whistlinbill please care this blade or send it to me, I would be more than happy to do this job!

M6 and M7 are very nice krisses but both need care at the blades and sheaths.

Regards,

Detlef

I should like to suggest to participants that admonishments about condition and care of presented artifacts are best handled by private message.

Sorry, don't want to attack someone!

M6 is a very interesting sword; most likely pretty early .
Sulu, I should think .

Here is its brother with a different pommel .

I dunno about "brother" Rick. I see a vast amount of difference between these two blades, from the greneng to the luks and flow of the blade. M6 is more slender and serpentine to my eye. Yours also has details like the line which almost forms something akin to a tikel alis and that other incised line that profiles the length of the blade. These are perhaps both Sulu, but i think they are from different periods with M6 being perhaps the older example.
