IT WOULD BE INTERESTING TO HAVE SOME OF THE KERIS COLLECTORS AND MAKERS TAKE A LOOK AT THE VARIOUS PATTERNS FOUND IN OTHER TYPES OF WEAPONS SUCH AS MORO, PERSIAN INDIAN ECT. THEN THEY COULD FIGURE OUT WHAT TYPE OF KERIS PAMOR THEY MOST CLOSELY RESEMBLED.
IT COULD ALSO PERHAPS SHEAD SOME LIGHT ON THE ORIGINS OF THE PATTERNS IN MORO BLADES AS TO WHERE THE INFLUENCE FOR THE PATTERMS CAME FROM. FOR INSTANCE ARE THEY CLOSER TO INDONESIAN AND MALAYSIAN KERIS OR PERSIAN AND INDIAN PATTERNS?
I AM JUST GUESSING BUT THE MORO WEAPONS LOOK LIKE THEY WERE MORE INFLUENCED FROM PERSIA,INDIA,ARABIA ECT. WHAT THE WEAPONS LOOKED LIKE BEFORE THOSE TRIBES BECAME MORO IN THE PHILIPPINES IS UNKNOWN TO ME BUT WAS LIKELY WOOD,STONE AND BONE.

IT WOULD ALSO BE INTERESTING TO KNOW JUST HOW FAR BACK THE ART OF WORKING IRON GOES IN THE PHILIPPINES. IN MANY ISLAND SOCIETYS IRON WAS FIRST ENCOUNTERED THRU TRADERS AND PERHAPS SOME GROUPS MOVED IN LATER WITH IRONWORKERS.

I CAN SEE IT NOW A COLLECTOR SAYING THIS SHAMSHIR IS WOS WUTAH AND BRINGS GOOD LUCK AND PROTECTION TO THE OWNER, AND EVERYONE ELSE SAYS , WHAT!!!
