Philippene/Malay (?) kris with naga

[kai]

Hello Detlef,

Have a look to this old thread, the naga could be a good hint from where your blade coming: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...ght=naga+malay

I would guess that your blade is from Malay origin.

I already posted a link in posting #8...

We need to be very careful though: I don't believe this initial classification can be taken for granted yet - more research is certainly needed IMVHO!

However, if we go with the tentative overview presented in that linked thread, I don't think that the naga on this kris supports any Melayu origin!

Regards,
Kai
