Naughty! naughty! Nechesh . . .
Of couse, I was fortunate enought to have a decent job, but my family comes first, if there's ever any left overs, I save 'em for my toys, you know the routine.

Awesome catch, good I've been off ebay...lolz
Thanks for sharing photos.
The blade seems older than the hilt, maybe passed through several generations.
If it used to be a warrior's the original scabbard could've been too damaged to salvage and later the blade with new hilt was kept as pusaka.
Why so many missing scabbards from swords? battlefield pick ups...remember much was taken from the dead after war

The dot inlays match up, so rewrap is recent.

!!!$$%%#^#&**#*($)_ Sorry wiping off the drool from my keyboard.

Bienvenido to the Forum Ernesto,

As Manny has kindly explained, I meant that more for collectors of “MORO SWORDS”.

This particular kris is what I meant by being well known. Thank you Panday for posting the pictures.

Yep Panday, i'd say that looks like you got a match. I suspected that the wrap was new on it since it looked too neat and clean.
Oh, and of course i know the routine, i was just removing the "luck" part as a factor. I have no doubt that you take care of the family first.

Of course, Mabagani being off ebay......hhmm.....well that might be considered lucky.

BTW Mabagani, do you think a piece like this would be a battle field pick-up? It doesn't look like the kind of kris that would see a lot of fighting.
