Hello SS,

Both of the archaic kris have very nice twist cores. Have you checked yours?

Albert's blade is made from a copper alloy - so no pattern welding to be expected.
It also seems to be quite a bit younger, possibly with a recycled hilt/pommel. From the design, the hilt might well be from a similar period as your younger example that you got from Charles.
Regards,
Kai
