That cleaned up nicely Green. What your post-cleaned kris shows is indeed lamination, not pamor. Have you determined if the fittings are aluminum or some other kind of white metal. They look less like aluminum in the after cleaned photos. If they are not aluminum i'd say it is more likely the kris is a little older than i first thought, perhaps around WWII era. Shame about the missing MOP. It would be nice to replace them, but it would be difficult to match the designed pieces properly.

Thanks David;
Not sure what you mean by fittings, but the baca baca was not made from aluminium. the metal is coppery in color and you can see green precipitates/stain still uncleaned in the pic which indicate that it is some form of copper alloy? However at the base of the baca baca I guess previous owner added little clamps to tighten the baca baca I guess(?) and these pieces look like aluminium. |
