Hello,

nearly can't believe that nobody else have bid on this Visayan daga or short sword (I don't like to name it kris). I was the only bidder but it was listed as Indonesian.

I think it is from around 1900 because of the buffalo horn bindings at the scabbard, sadly nearly all are gone but I think the handle with the double bakunawa head is very nice. Blade is 18 inches long. Look for example this old thread: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...hlight=visayan

Here the pictures from the seller.
