Hi Charles.

My word you have a nice set of kris there. Am I correct in surmising that in Photo 2 these are (from top to bottom):

Maguindanao

Sulu

Sulu

Maranao

Sulu

Sulu

Sulu

Also, some of these appear to have some gold (suassa) fittings. If so, would not these be likely meant for royalty as only the Sultan is supposed to display gold?
