Hi guys,
Asian weapons aren't my forte. A friend owns this, and asked my help for details. Would appreciate assistance: value, provenance, estimated age. The wood handle is loose, and uncarved.

This is a Moro kris so i am transferring it to the main forum. We only discuss Indonesian keris here.
This appears to me to be a rather contemporary (latter half of the 20th century) piece, a bit touristy from what i can see in these photos.
As always, value is not to be discussed on the forums. :)
