That's a beauty Carlos. Very unusual! I wonder if that shell guard was originally on a different sword or was it made for the kris? The origin of the guard would probably tell more of the story.
The hilt is not your typical Moro design, from what i can see same with the one in the museum, not the typical Moro design.. It's odd that they would both be missing the clamps.
I wonder if they were captured and re-hilted blades.
I too would be very happy. Thanks for sharing.
