Odd Kris

[Ian]

Archer:

Looks Philippine to me, but not Moro. The combination of brass and horn (?) on the hilt and the "Spanish kris" (flambé) style of blade suggest a northern or perhaps central Philippines origin. The loop for the forefinger is definitely a European trait.

As to age, hard to say. General condition would fit mid-20th C., perhaps a little earlier.
