Thank you Jose!
Detlef, I considered it very well if I should have it restored or not. The reasons why I did it: - The rope didn't seem to be an old "moro" repair (so not genuine). - The whole bunti scabbardmouth was loose and only held by the rope. So it wasn't possible to have the kris normally in and out. And more damage could be made taking the kris out and in not carefully done... I need to make an image of the front, which I will post later. Kind Regards, Maurice |

you have the kris in your hands and I am sure that you have enough experience to decide what to do. I only know this kris from the pictures. Regards, Detlef |
