Boswego ,
You are located in an area which may well have a greater abundance of Moro swords as soldiers from both Oregon and WA. were well represented during the Span Am war ; I have bought a lot of old Philippine edged weapons from your area .
Also,
What you bought is a 'kris' a term we use here to identify Moro examples .
All the other types are referred to in this forum as 'keris' .
It's a niggling little point but it helps to define which form we are discussing .
BTW , I was wondering if Vancouver might also be an area of interest due to its burgeoning Asian populace .
There is a wealth of information to be found on this subject (kris keris) by searching the old forum archives , have fun .
It's too late for you now buddy , I can see the signs of addiction already .
