I have a kris with a similar gandik/"elephant mouth" shape to this one. Still honing my Moro-blade I.D.-ing skills.
Are my instincts right by guessing that these are both Sulu kris? (Or do I need to hit the books a bit more? )

Now my uneducated guess. While the kris from Flavio look Maranao to my eyes have your kris something from all but when I have tie myself down I would say that your kris is Maguindanao but I am unsure.

I have done some research again. Here is one from my kris which was shown in this thread: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?t=11830
It was appointed from our experts as Maguindanao kris. When you look at yours and mine side by side you will agree that they from the "trunk" area look very similar. So I think that I was with my guess before correct. Regards, Detlef Last edited by Sajen; 28th May 2012 at 01:39 PM. |
