Latest Moro Kris, help please

imas560 · 5th March 2013, 08:18 PM

Hello all,
Have managed to pick up another Moro Kris (no scabbard).
I’ve made some notes from perusing Cato but was hoping for some input from forum members.

Approx 28 inch/71cm in length.
Based on separation line (am assuming is a distinct separation line indicative of blade being made of two parts) maybe late 1800’s early 1900’s?
Straight edge, no luks, maybe a fighting kris.
Maranao elephant trunk design?
One asang-asang.
Possibly chipped/broken kakatua crest on handle?
Any help with identifying would be much appreciated.
Also steps (or link) I can use as a guide to remove rust.
thanks
