Thanks for your comments.

Rick, I didn't think about Katipunan on a Visayan sword but maybe the star symbolise Visayas (like on the flag)?
Most of what I read about the Katipunan part of the revolution seems to have been centered to Luzon?
But there was the uprising of Papa Isio and his Tribo Pulahan on Negros. As far as I remember, of the statue of him on the crossroad in Barrio Isio, he didn't carry a Kris however?
Unfortunately I didn't have a digital camera at that time and I haven't been able to find a picture of the statue on the Internet to doublecheck.
But from what I have read he also had some contact with Rizal & Co.

Sorry for the lousy close up Kai. The blade actually is quite well preserved and has a nice grey patina that I don't feel like polish away. The specks you see on the picture are the dominant ones. All over there are several smaller ones that I unfortunately can't seem to catch on a picture.
