Help! I have a bad infection, again a kris!

Nice. Yeah looking again at the front of the scabbard, I agree that it might have had MOP surrounding the little section of horn.

My question about the new affliction is with all those Keris, where are you now going to keep these Moro Kris.....

Hello Gav,

don't worry, there is still a lot of space at my walls!

Hello Detlef, My congratulations on this very nice addition to your collection. If by some chance you find you do not have enough space to display it please feel free to send it to me.

I have not yet been able to add a traditional kris to my own collection as it seems that every time I find one that I really like there is always someone else out there that out bids me on it.

Again, my congratulations to you on your newest addition.

Thank you Robert and be sure that you will find by time a very nice kris for your great Philippine collection!

Regards,

Detlef

Have etched the blade this evening and it schows a similar lamination like the last one. Is this a very common lamination by philippine kris blades?

Regards,

Detlef

Actually yes, it is a common lamination pattern for many Moro pieces, especially after 1800.

Thank you! Yes, I think there have been MOP or more probably a aluminium frame since there are still some pieces of this metal existent.
