Shine or not to shine/ Moro kris silver pommel

The silver pommel on this kris has turned dark grey/black. Most of the ones posted in the forum and the ones I've seen in books are shiny. Should I apply metal polish to bring back the shine?

Hi Spunjer, that's a very nice looking blade with ivory pummel. Am no expert, but that looks pretty old to me.

Hi Bill, no, I don't think there were any recent alterations. The cloth and the rope (around the handle) look like they have been there for many many years.

inscription on blade

Hi David,

No, I don't know what the inscription says. I was hoping someone out there might be able to read it.

Hi Kai,

Thanks for the inputs. The grip is some kind of rope with copper wire in between. Asang-asang looks like aluminum. Yes, gangya is separate.

The pink plastic is not part of the...

maranaw kris with Tiboli scabard?

Can anyone help me on this? Is the pommel elephant molar? Why would it have tiboli cloth wrapped around the scabard? (unless of course someone did it just to make it look interesting).

similar dagger

here is a dagger that looks like yours. This one has inscriptions on the blade. A friend said it could be in Jawi. The handle is ivory.

Lapu-lapu's kampilan

Lapu-lapu is often shown in statues holding a kampilan. I don't think from the accounts of the Magellan expedition survivors it is clear Lapu-lapu wielded a kampilan. He was from Cebu. Just...
