Hello Cerjak,

What could be the age of this kris ?
The hilt and scabbard are most likely 19th century IMHO.

For the probably even older blade, we'd need input from Alan, I guess.

You need to post a hi-res pic of the full blade with the tip pointing up and the tapering end of the base pointing towards the right side (also try to have the separating line between the blade and the end piece exactly horizontal - the wave doesn't make this any easier). Also a close-up of the base of the blade (include all features) will be important. For both pics, make sure that you take pics from exactly vertical to the plane of the blade (it helps to remove the hilt - avoid any distortions and angled shots!)

Regards,
Kai
