Hello Jose, Here are a couple of links to Moro kris with basically the same blade style as Carlos's example but of course these have the traditional gangya where his sword has a more or less plain flat style of guard. I still cannot find the photo of the other sword that I referred to earlier though.

Thanks Robert.
Yes I remember these kris. However they have gangas where as this piece in question does not have a ganga and thus I don't consider it a kris blade so far. |

Hello Jose, here is another sword with a non-typical kris style blade. This one is from the town of Taal in Batangas. What I am getting at is that I believe that both this sword and the one that Carlos has are based on traditional (if be it rarer forms of) kris swords. The one pictured below is easy to identify where it is from seeing as it is inlaid into the hilt but the origin of the one Carlos has is a bit more of a problem.
 Best, Robert |

Interesting sword...too bad there isn't a scabbard to help identify its origin.
To me it looks like a terciada blade mounted in a Tagakaolo (or possibly B'laan) kakatua hilt. Regards, Bangkaya |
