Guys, for comments please. I thought this is a revolutionary sword because of the sun in the scabbard. I also thought that this a visayan sword because of the inscription in the scabbard that says kapudlusan whichnturns out to be a place in leyte. Quite confused though on the blade which is somewhat similar to that of moro swords.

Yes, it is a Visayan "kris" but the aluminium fittings let me think that it is a WWII area sword. Would like to see the blade cleaned and some better pictures.

Regards,
Detlef
