A NICE KRIS PROBABLY MADE FROM WW1 TO WW2 AND USED THRU WW2, JUST A GUESS. THE HANDLE IS LIKELY THE ORIGINAL BUT HAS BEEN STRIPPED THE STRAPS AND METAL FITTINGS MAY HAVE BEEN SILVER AND SOLD OFF OR LEFT LAYING AROUND WHEN THE OWNER COULD NOT GET THE MOTHER OF PEARL POMMEL CAP OFF AND BROKE IT. YOU CAN SEE THE MARKS WHERE THE WOOD WAS CARVED AS WELL AS WHERE THE OLD WRAPPINGS WERE AND THE GROOVE AT THE TOP WAS LIKELY TO HAVE HAD A METAL BAND AND PROBABLY ALSO A METAL FERRULE AT THE FORTE TO HOLD THE BACA BACA STRAPS. THE GANJA IS SEPARATE ON THE BLADE AND THE BLADE MAY EVEN HAVE A PATTEREN IF ETCHED, NICE FIND!1
THE KRIS GUYS CAN PROBABLY GIVE YOU MORE AND BETTER INFO ON IT.
JOSE WOULD PROBABLY LIKE TO FIX IT UP PROPER
