I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING THE RESTORED KRIS ,IT HAS POTENTAL TO BE QUITE NICE. A GOOD ETCH TO THE BLADE CERTIANLY WON'T HURT AND WITH THE FITTINGS REFURBISHED IT SHOULD BE A WORTHY ADDITION TO YOUR COLLECTION. ADD A BIT OF PROVENANCE FOR THE COLLECTION AND IT WILL BE A++. LOOKS LIKE YA MAY NEED A LOT OF ELBOW GREASE FOR THE PROJECT. GOOD LUCK
