Hi friends,
Sharing with you this kris. It has a small sticker which indicate that this is a Maranao kris. Can you confirm this this is indeed Maranao? The blade is of the straight type (sundang espada), OAL: 26.5 inches. Hilt: wood with woven rattan and white metal ferrule. At the end of the hilt (pommel side) is a decorative white metal ring with scalloped edges. I love the 'design' on the blade itself. Enjoy and regards, Yves |

I would say close. This might in fact be Maguindanao based on the ganga, hilt, and scabbard top.

Hi Yves,
The hilt and scabbard look post WWII, maybe 1960-1970s. Most likely a Maranao blade IMHO. The dress looks Maranao also. Ian |

Hi,
Immediately I did a up-close scrutiny on the blade. yes, there are shallow (upper bakukum/tungo) waves and very shallow waves (lower bakukum/tungo) of the blade. I count 7 waaves which run from neear the start of the hilt up to the middle part of the blade. So, in this case, it is a ranti/luma blade. Many thanks for the information. Appreciate it. Kind regards, Yves |
