WW2 Sulu Kris
something that is not discussed as often here are newer krises. Newer, as in those WW2 krises that are more likely than not adorned with mother of pearls on handles and scabbard. unfortunately, a lot of these M.O.P.'s are either broken or missing.
here's an example that is complete: the M.O.P. are all present, starting from the cap, all eight sides of the pommel, and the right side of the scabbard. what's odd, is the scabbard tip. i thought it was M.O.P. at first, but upon closer inspection, it's actually ivory, a first encounter for me.
regarding the blade, it is laminated, as i suspected. also, it doesn't have a separation line.
comments are welcome!
