Hi Maurice,

very nice old kris also when the crest of the pommel is missing. Hope that I can own one day such a nice kris! Do you have tried to polish the metal?

Regards,

Detlef

Hi Sajen,

I like the broken crest where the old restore is visible.
I rather like them this way and don't want it to be restored (but tastes differ).

I am sure that it is possible to find one. I was looking for this one for quite some years, and believe it or not, after chasing after morocollectors to get one like this, epray was the solution afterall....

I didn't polish the metal, I just sanded the blade to get rid of the surficial rust and black spots/pitting.
I attached two more images of the cleaning/etching result.

Kind Regards,
Maurice

Hi Maurice,

two missunderstandings!

I also like the pommel like this and also don't would like to restore it.

And by polish the metal I mean the bands at the pommel, try to polish only a small part where it is not visible direkt to see which metal you have there when you don't have silver test fluid.

Hi Sajen,

Yes I see now when reading it back!
But whilest typing my last comment responding yours, my wife was already with her coat on ready to go, telling me to hurry up!!.........I guess that will be everywhere the same!

So my mind was split in two pieces: At one piece it was reading and typing, and at the other half assuring my wife that it didn't take long anymore before shutting my laptop!

Kind Regards,
Maurice
