Ebay Purchase #3

[JeffS]

I've been on a roll.... first the kora, next a longleaf khukuri (from Atlantic Cultery) and now this beautiful Moro kris. I was so excited that I stayed up until the wee hours to watch this auction end. I would love to hear feedback and comments.

Actually I might classify this as a Maguindanao piece, but that being said, it is interesting. The blade seems to be in good shape, though I think the metal fittings are later and perhaps white metal. STill not a bad puppy.
