Hello apolaki,
Could you please try to take pics in more light (lightly clouded day around noon)? I'd especially like a closeup of the base of the blade (both sides, please) taken directly from above since angled shots distort some features.
Is there any info/provenance for your piece?

Thank you all for your impressions of this piece. Can you tell me what features lead you to believe it is a Moro kris as opposed to a Sundang from Malaysia?

Tried to explain above. Am adding pics of another example in the next posting.

For those who believe it is a Sundang, can you discern approximate age based on its features?

Dating Malay sundangs seems to be very tough. Based on the wear of your example, 19th c. (regardless of its origin) seems plausible to me though.
Regards,
Kai
