kris Maranao named

[tanaruz]

Hi,

A recent acquisition: a Maranao kris with a person's name engraved. The seller claimed this piece to be of Maguindanao (age: approx 70 years old). But looking at the 'elephant part' of the kris it points to it being of Maranao origin (pls correct me if im wrong).

We'll try to research the name on the blade.

Kind regards,

Yves
