Hello! I'm sharing a photo of a hiltless twist core Moro kris. The tang is rectangular as Moro kris tangs usually are unlike that of the Indonesian and Malaysian keris which is round. I removed the hilt because it was inverted. Now I'm tempted to swap the hilt with an ivory pommeled one from another kris in my collection. The ivory pommeled hilt is attached to a low quality blade.

I think it is a Maguindanao blade but is it possibly Maranao? Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I would greatly appreciate your insights. Thank you!

Kind regards,

Fernando
