Nice catch, homie.
I like it that you've polished the hilt. It really stands out. Just wondering, does it have a pinkish/reddish hue to the silver?
Congrats.

Absolutely outstanding. If ever there was a museum quality piece this is it.

Indeed an outstanding piece, Ron.

The fullers till end of the blade give it something like a Malay touch indeed, a singular feature.

This speaks to me so much. I am a big fan of straight kris and this is the finest example I've seen by far. Just... Wow.

Lovely example. how was the hilt when you bought it ? did you clean it ?
Willem,
here's a couple pics of what it looked like before i cleaned it. the only thing different is the tarnish that covered the metals. i really thought the whole thing was silver, but much to my surprise when i found out the handle is swaasa..

Kino,
nah, it's full on metallic silver; it's just highly polished. the tint is just a reflection from the red shirt i was wearing when i was taking the pics, lol

funny you mentioned that. between that, and the carabao buntot, this piece seems to have a strong Malay influence...

Drac2k,
no genie, besides what's in the kris's blade, although the time machine i've been messing with is finally working right
lol, i jest.
