Hello,

I won a couple of kris swords November last year and I am sharing for comments. The first one is a Sulu (?) kris with an atypical-shaped, laminated blade and a bone kakatua-shaped hilt. It is about 23.5 inches OAL with a 18.5 inch long blade. The ferrule and asang-asang are made of copper. The second one is a Borneo kris (according to auction site). It measures about 23.5 inches OAL as well with a blade a little over 18.5 inches long. The hilt is made of wood with foliate carvings and has a silver sleeve. The images are from the auction site, with additional images to come. Comments are most welcome.
