Very interesting kris

This most interesting kris just ended on ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Phillipines-...vip=true&rt=nc

The seller only posted one blurred picture but I ask for some close ups. I have hoped that it went high like this and will be able to obtain it for low money but you can't win every time!

So I hope that someone from the forum is the happy winner.

Would like to know the age and origin of this nice kris. Here some pictures.

I find it interesting that the scabbard is Visayan like.

Yes, Jose, this is the most intersting by this kris! The scabbard is wrapped with leather in old manner from 19th century when I see it correct.

Another similar kris hilt pic from the old forum.

Seems like this is a specific style (the carvings) seeing as there are several examples.

Yes, indeed very similar. Is it an old Sulu style? What i also never have seen before is the way how the hilt is attached to the blade ( by the one I have posted).
