Thanks, Jose! Upon closer inspection it does look maranao and not maguindanao as I once thought.

I thought it was an interesting piece and took a chance on it. Like I said, it looks to have a twistcore based on the weld lines I see. Maybe a polish/etch is in its future soon! As far as restorations go this would not take too much as far as the kris itself is concerned. A polish and etch of the blade, a polishing of the silver fittings and a new laquering of the wrap is in order I think.
