Would also be interested in seeing pics. Ive seen some pretty nice post WWII kris (ivory, pamor, etc...) come from Sulu, but none with separate gangyas. But then Ive seen alot of what I thought, and others (like Cecil Quirino) had thought re-hilted blades, old blade new Tausug fittings. Then I suppose we may have all been in the dark.
